(More) Winning Tales

If you are looking for the true ‘dream makers’ in the casino, that award goes to the ever-increasing progressive jackpots. I have compiled some of these Winning Tales for you to dream on.

Nice and Lucky.
Charles and Barbara Lekowitz of Grand Junction, Colorado, were staying in Vegas to attend a convention. Afterwards, they decided to break up the drive home with a stop in Mesquite at the Oasis Casino.

After checking in, Barbara headed for the room as Charles made a beeline for a bank of 'the Wheels'. Barbara joined her husband at the right moment for his MegaJackpot win of $1,076,742 on his fourth pull!

Barbara recalls, "I walked up to him and said, ' Honey what did you win?" "I'm not sure," Charles said, "but I think it's the big one."

It turns out that his favorite, 5 Times Wheel of Fortune machine made him an instant millionaire!

Barb relates the special treatment afterwards, "They moved us to a suite for the weekend, we were given complimentary massages and complimentary dinners, and to top it off, a bottle of Dom Perignon.

Everyone was just so marvelous. We then called our two grown children on our cell phone, but they didn't believe us at first."

"My husband and I are continuing to work," Barbara said. "We're going to invest this money for our retirement. It will certainly give us more security and peace of mind, but it really won't alter our lives."

"You know I think this is why people gamble, for the big one and you never know when it’s going to happen. I'm just happy that it happened to us!"

Barbara added, "This couldn’t have happened to a nicer person than my husband. Everyone comments on how thoughtful and generous he is, and if anyone deserves to win a million big ones it's him."

Happy Happy!
Rosarlo Ontiveros, a contractor from El Paso, Texas made one of her regular visits to Casino Apache, Mescalaro, NM.

"I always play Wheel of Fortune, she said, and then added that it was also her birthday."

After a win of $505,285 on a one-dollar Wheel of Fortune progressive, she said, "I plan to buy my granddaughter a car, invest and save, save, save, but maybe a Jaguar for my husband".

Early Morning Jackpot Rain.
Thomas Ray Barron, a lifelong Vista resident and early-riser was playing the slots at Valley View Casino when he put a $20 bill into a Wheel of Fortune dollar slot and hit for a $1,608,985 jackpot.

Barron is palm-tree broker and has three daughters whom he plans to help with his winnings. He also plans to use his winnings to pay off debt and return $40 he owes his mother.
