Hawaii Woman Wins $10.7M Jackpot Playing a Penny Slot at Wynn Las Vegas
When you win $10.7 million gambling, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas.
A woman from Oahu, Hawaii hit it big at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday when she won a total payout of $10,777,270.51 from a single penny slot.
The guest, who requested her identity be kept confidential, played on a Wynn-themed Megabucks machine, which takes $3 bets, according to several local news outlets.
Wynn Las Vegas confirmed the woman's jackpot on Twitter Tuesday writing, "How would you celebrate if you were the lucky winner of a $10.7 million jackpot on one of our slot machines?"

The Megabucks machine appears to be the game to wager one's money.
The biggest ever jackpot recorded was at the Excalibur hotel in March 2003 when a 25-year-old Los Angeles resident put $100 in a Megabucks machine, and won a total of $40 million.
