California woman strikes million-dollar gold at Westgate Las Vegas
Lucky Stockton visitor turns $100 into life-changing jackpot in mere minutes
Lady Luck smiled upon a California visitor at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino last Friday morning when she transformed a modest gambling budget into a seven-figure payday. Evelyn R., hailing from Stockton, California, scored an impressive $1,008,054 jackpot on an IGT Wheel of Fortune $1 slot machine after playing for just 15 minutes.
The fortunate player had invested $100 into the popular game when a $5 spin triggered the massive payout, instantly making her Las Vegas’s newest millionaire. The win marks another significant jackpot at the Westgate, which has seen several substantial payouts throughout 2024.
Westgate continues its winning streak
The off-Strip property, situated adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center, has been delivering life-changing wins to its guests regularly. Earlier this year, the casino saw multiple six-figure jackpots, including a Texas visitor who won over $521,000 on a Timber Wolf Grand machine with just a $3.75 bet in August.
The Westgate’s 95,000-square-foot gaming floor houses thousands of slot machines alongside table games and what’s billed as the world’s largest race and sports book. The property, which operated as the Las Vegas Hilton until 2014, maintains its reputation as a lucky spot for both locals and tourists seeking their fortune.
While the casino celebrates its latest millionaire winner, it continues to attract players hoping to be the next success story. As Evelyn R.’s experience proves, sometimes all it takes is a few spins and a bit of luck to change your life forever in Las Vegas.
