If you are looking for the true ‘dream makers’, that award goes to the ever-increasing progressive jackpots.
I have compiled some of these Winning Stories to brighten your dreams tonight.
Feet First
The first millionaire for Delta Downs Race Track is Mike Licatino of Port Arthur, TX. who won $1,058,509 on a Wheel of Fortune quarter machine.
After spending $100 and about ready to leave, up pops the Wheel of Fortune symbols. "I couldn't believe it, he said. I was scared to touch it again." Mike, who does paint and body work on cars and motorcycles, credits his win to a bad case of heartburn.
He said it woke him up early in the morning, so he decided to drive to Delta Downs, because he couldn't sleep. As a Harley-Davidson enthusiast, Mike would like to use his winnings to open his own shop, but for now he says, "I guess I could start out with a new pair of shoes."
A Lone Star: Joseph Guillory of Beaumont, TX can hardly believe his good luck and big hit of $541,415 at a Wheel of Fortune in Delta Downs Racetrack and Casino, Vinton, LA. Joseph said he spent about $53 playing three different machines when suddenly the three Wheel of Fortune symbols lined up and bells began to ring. "I really love this place, because if I can't win in the casino, I can always go over and bet on the horses. Man, was I lucky tonight." Guillory, who is retired, said he would use his winning to take care of his mother and see that she has a good life.
Ride To Riches, Indeed.
Janet McDonald likes to winter in Scottsdale, AZ where she and a friend took the Flamingo's 'Ride to Riches' pink bus to Laughlin.
After only $20 and five minutes, the Wheel came through with a gigantic win of $1,998,173.
The retired French teacher from Fulton, NY stated, "I've won before, but not like this," "The biggest jackpot before today was $1,500. I didn't realize at first what I won. My friend Carolyn had to explain it to me."
When asked what she would do with all that money, she sighed, "It really hasn't sunk in yet. It doesn't feel real."
It's Shocking! Ariel Miller, from Bellevue, NE is in a state of shock since becoming a millionaire. The big hit was at the Bluffs Run Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on a Wheel slot and it was his first time trying the game. Someone was seated at the machine he normally plays, so he decided it was a good time to see what the Wheel of Fortune was all about. While waiting for his drink order, he decided that when his waitress arrived he would cash out and venture back over to his favorite machine to see if it was available.
However, Ariel never made it back. The right symbols lined up just right for a win of $1,062,520.
"I couldn't believe it until players around me began to congratulate me," said Miller, who is already retired. As for his plans for spending the money, he says, "I'll just use what's left after my wife gets what she wants. I'll probably put some in CDs."
