A poker player won a big jackpot prize at a California casino, thanks to a rare hand.
The gambler from Olivehurst sat at a Face Up Pai Gow poker table June 30 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento, the casino said in a news release.
At one point, she revealed a seven-card straight flush, winning the $368,021 jackpot.
The casino said the woman placed a $5 bet when she won.

Her winning cards were an ace, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and a joker acting as a 3, all in clubs, according to the casino.
A straight flush is one of the rarest hands in the game, after a royal flush, according to Upswing Poker.
To get a straight flush, a player needs to get cards in consecutive order and in the same suit.
This wasn’t the only player to win big at the casino recently.
In June, a gambler bet $5 on a Dragon Link slot machine and won $189,808, McClatchy News reported.
The casino is in Wheatland, which is about a 40-mile drive north from Sacramento.
