Woman wins $2.9 million

[nutforslots]

What a win. I wish I could win just a tenth of that but no luck here.

A California woman got an early Christmas present this week when she hit a $2.9 million jackpot on a penny slot machine at Planet Hollywood.

Dorothy Reynolds of Fallbrook, Calif., had been playing about three hours and put $500 into the Wizard of Oz machine on Tuesday when she hit the jackpot, the casino said in announcing the win.

Reynolds travels to Las Vegas twice a year with her husband, Don. On this weeklong trip, she was also joined by her daughter and son-in-law, Jill and Gary Crosswhite, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Reynolds has always been a fan of slot machines and jokingly said that her win on the Wizard of Oz machine and her name, Dorothy, “must have been meant to be.”

She plans to spend the holidays at home with her two daughters and nine grandchildren who, she said, “may be surprised at this year’s Christmas presents.”

What a great Christmas present. If you had a wish would winning like this be it? Me ya maybe but I really would prefer to have my husband home and for all of my family to have a safe and happy year.

That really is a great win to have. I don't have that kind of luck either nutforslots so don't feel to bad about it.

I hope she puts it to a good use as money doesn't go as far as it used to.

Who knows maybe our luck is about to change. I haven't had much for a long time go so I think I am due for something good and maybe you are as well.

What I couldn't do with a cool 2 mil!!!

I can already picture my new house... designed by myself just as I want it! Maybe some shopping cause I'd have to spoil my kids. And a vacation has to be on that list. Mexico maybe?? Somewhere warm with a beach!

Congrats to the winner. I am sure she will enjoy the heck out of it!

I'm glad Dorothy was able to find her way home after her great win on the Wizard of Oz slot game!

That is one heck of a nice Christmas present for sure.

Congradulations on your big win Dorothy!

Keep playing folks and perhaps you will be the next person whos name I get to write about. Be resposible though if you don't have it don't spend it. A persons got to eat before they can play. Good Luck and have fun.

I bet there were a lot of folks shaking their heads in amazement that such a huge amount of money could be won on a penny slot.

I play penny slots all the time and may not win a lot but most times I win enough to keep me playing for a few hours and thats what counts.

Way to go on that big win!!!
