LAS VEGAS, Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A simple trip
to entertain house guests turned into a fortuitous trip for a
Florida resident on Saturday
evening. International Game Technology (NYSE:IGT) awarded
$1,097,272.26 on a Wheel of Fortune®
DoubleDiamond® slot machine to Connie B. of Naples, Florida, who had been playing at the
Seminole Casino in Immokalee,
Florida.
IGT's latest millionaire said that the Wheel of Fortune®
DoubleDiamond® slot is the game she typically plays, and has won on
it before, but never to the extent that she did on Saturday. As the
reels began to line up with Double Diamonds, the winner turned to
her friend who was playing at a machine next to her and whispered
"I think I won a million dollars," a fact that her friend confirmed
after seeing the lined up icons on the screen.
The winner shared this thrilling news with her two sons, but has
yet to inform her husband who is finishing up a hunting trip out of
state. She definitely brought home the bigger bounty. The latest
millionaire has no immediate plans on how she will spend the
jackpot winnings.
IGT has been making millionaires since 1986 and has awarded
about $6 billion in life-changing
jackpots nationwide.
