A couple from Eastvale, California, has much to be happy about after the pair hit an eye-watering $4,178,889 at the Pechanga Resort Casino over the weekend. The win was publicized by the venue, which offered details about the eventful morning.
Quick Sessions Before Bedtime Turns Couple into Millionaires
The anonymous couple won early on Sunday morning, April 13, and were incredulous of their achievement at first, and they did not expect anything out of their time at the casino other than a pleasant dinner and a bit of a getaway.
Arriving on Saturday at the Pechanga, the couple decided to try their luck at the slots. They had dinner and thought about turning in, but the wife suggested that they should try the Megabucks MegaVault game for at least a few rounds before retiring to their room.
The husband, well-versed in connubial bliss dynamics, acquiesced and loaded $100 to play the wide area progressive machine. He gave it a few tries, betting a few dollars at a time, but this hardly yielded much. Then, the wife told his husband to consider upping the ante and spend a little more per round, so the husband started betting $10.
The couple need not wait too long as the second $10 spin was the one that triggered the massive seven-figure payout. Commenting on that moment, the couple shared their incredulity at what had happened, arguing that they, at first, thought they had won just $230. The couple quickly came to their senses and stared at the screen.
Pechanga’s Win to Help Pay Off Couple’s Kids’ Loans and Cars
The husband thanked not only his good luck but the fact that his wife had egged him on to play a few rounds before going to bed – apparently that was all it took to make the difference between retiring not much richer than the night before and becoming millionaires.
The couple is already planning how to spend their money, and their immediate priorities do not involve anything fancy – pay off their adult children’s student loans and car payments. And what about coming back to the Pechanga Resort Casino?
The couple has every intention to continue frequenting the property as they have been since 2017 when they won a much smaller but equally fun jackpot and clocked in $17,000.
