Gambler bets $5 on slot machine — then wins life-changing prize at Connecticut casino
A man got lucky on a slot machine at a Connecticut casino with a $5 bet.
Now, he’s $347,562.62 richer.
The Hartford gambler went to the Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky on Jan. 27, the casino said in a Feb. 3 news release.
He sat at a Dollar Storm Caribbean Gold slot machine, made a bet and hit spin.
Then a jackpot message appeared saying he had won hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But that wasn’t the only big win at the casino that day.
Another player bet $62.50 on a Lightning Cash slot machine and won $110,103.55.
Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, which is about a 45-mile drive southeast from Hartford.
