The player’s “life-changing win” marks another “huge megabucks jackpot,” the post said.
It’s not the first big Las Vegas win this summer. A traveler at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas went home with an extra $1.3 million after hitting a slot machine jackpot in a terminal, McClatchy News reported.
“That’s one way to end a vacation — as a MILLIONAIRE,” airport officials wrote on Twitter on June 28.
