Lucky gambler bets $5 on slot machine — then wins life-changing prize at CT casino

A New York woman traveled to a Connecticut casino and won a “massive jackpot” off a small bet.

Now, she’s $100,929.93 richer.

The woman sat at a “Wheel of Fortune” Triple Double Diamond slot machine Oct. 13 at the Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort in Uncasville , the hotel said in a news release.

She bet $5, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen until a jackpot message appeared.

That wasn’t the only jackpot win that weekend.

Another player hit the jackpot on a Dragon Link slot machine Oct. 12, the casino said.

The Massachusetts woman won $11,602.64.

Uncasville is in southeastern Connecticut.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
