Lucky
Players Hits $11.9 Million MegaJackpot
Just one month and one day since
its last hit, the Megabucks(R) top jackpot of
$11,909,745 was won at the Aladdin Resort &
Casino early Sunday morning.
The lucky winner,
who asked to remain anonymous, had seen the
Megabucks (R) signs which read, "One pull can
change your life" and said, "Now I know that
it's true."
The
jackpot, which hit around 2:30 a.m., comes on
the heels of Elmer Sherwin's $21,147,947 Megabucks
(R) win at the Cannery on September 15. Sherwin
is the first person in the history of Megabucks
(R) to win the top jackpot twice. He won his
first Megabucks (R) prize of $4.6 million at
the Mirage in 1989.
The
latest Megabucks (R) jackpot at the Aladdin
Resort & Casino marks the 65th time this prize
has been won in the almost twenty years that
Megabucks (R) has been in operation in Nevada.
The progressive jackpot, which resets at $10
million, requires the maximum three-coin bet.
Over 600 Megabucks(R) games can be found in
Nevada casinos.
A
recent addition to the MegaJackpots(R) family
is Video Megabucks(R). With a current jackpot
over $11.3 million, Video Megabucks(R) will
set a world record for the largest penny jackpot
of all time.
