Dennis M. of Athens, AL was
visiting L'Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles with his
girlfriend when his luck hit a turn for the best and he won his
$1.5 million jackpot. A fan of
the Wheel of Fortune slot series, when Dennis won his prize, he
thought to himself "it's about time."
Luck followed a New Hampshire
resident to Connecticut when an
anonymous slot player became the lucky winner of a more than
$1.1 million jackpot at Mohegan Sun's
"Mohegan Sky" casino.
Another anonymous new millionaire, who has been awarded with
$3.9 million at Atlantis Casino
Resort Spa, plans to pay off bills and then travel to Ireland, Hawaii, and to take an Alaskan cruise.
IGT launched the MegaJackpots® progressive product line in 1986
and has since produced thousands of winners with jackpots ranging
from $1 million to the world-record
slot jackpot of more than $39
million.
MegaJackpots games, including Wheel of Fortune slots, are
created by IGT, a leader in the design, development and manufacture
