A visitor from Atlanta won Megabucks on Tuesday morning at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, turning a $5 bet into more than $10 million.
According to resort officials, the gambler, who was not identified, had just been playing for around three minutes when the jackpot hit. The winner celebrated the life-changing jackpot with fellow guests and casino team members as news of the enormous payoff traveled across the casino floor, according to a Westgate news release.
The total payout is $10,292,912.32.
The prize was won on the IGT Megabucks Wolf Run Eclipse slot machine.
“Las Vegas is built on unforgettable moments, and it doesn’t get much more memorable than turning a $5 bet into more than $10 million,” said Cami Christensen, president and general manager of Westgate.
“We’re thrilled for our guest from Atlanta and love seeing these legendary stories happen at Westgate,” Christensen told us.
Megabucks paid out $11.1 million in November to a lucky player at Resorts World Las Vegas.
