A retired teacher who lives in Oswego is a millionaire today.
She won a $4.1 million payday playing a slot machine called Wheel of Fortune at The Venetian casino[1] in Las Vegas within the last few days.
The woman is keeping her name private.
A gaming company called International Gaming Technology[2] announced her big win along with multi-million dollar wins in recent weeks for three other people.
Each was playing the company’s Wheel of Fortune Super Spin MegaJackpot game[3], which provides massive payouts for the luckiest few.
According to a company news release, quoted in the Las Vegas Sun[4] newspaper, the woman had been playing that evening, left the machine, then came back with $40 to try one more time. That’s when she hit the jackpot.
An IGT representative did not respond to our e-mailed request for information.
