The reason for the trip to Sin City was her cousin’s birthday. She was on her way back to her hotel room when she noticed the slot machine. “I was walking to my
hotel room when the Megabucks machine drew my attention. I started playing the one-armed bandit,” the winner commented.

At first she assumed that the machine displayed an error message when the winning symbols appeared. Her cousin started screaming that she had just won a jackpot of €9.47 million. The lucky slot machine player stated that she was thrilled to inform her husband about the massive jackpot. The couple will use the money to pay off the mortgage.
