As the reels hit, triggering the jackpot, the winner initially
saw the pay voucher appear and believed that it was showing a
serial number. The winner then realized that the voucher was
actually a pay by hand voucher, and a big one at that, equaling to
just over 4.5 million.
Upon the winner's return home, a bit of goodwill was shared, as
the winner immediately made two donations to Operation Smile, which
will pay for two operations for children to repair cleft lip, cleft
palate and other facial deformities.
The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, joins the more than
34 millionaires that have been awarded a total of more than
$96 million in life-changing jackpots
since January of last year.
IGT's MegaJackpots were launched in 1986 and have since created
more than 1,500 millionaires with nearly 6
billion dollars in jackpots awarded. Caesars Entertainment
also enjoys an outstanding reputation for awarding jackpots with
the company's Millionaire Maker powered by Total Rewards program.
To date, the company has made nearly 750 millionaires.
