3 MILL FOR A CENT
It's a land casino win, but a feel-good story anyway
A lucky American gambler won nearly US$3-million last week playing the one-cent slot machines in a Nevada casino, scoring a world record in the process.
Shigeko Ide Stein, 61, won $2,99-million last Wednesday after popping penny coins into the Twilight Zone Video Slots in a casino in the Nevada town of Laughlin, near Las Vegas, which she visits three times a week.
Stein said she took her seat at the machines in the AVI Resort and Casino because it was the only place available but immediately had a premonition she would win.
"I just had a good feeling after seeing a woman had a winning combination but didn't have a max coin bet," she said in a statement issued by slot machine maker IGT.
However the resident of the small California town of Needles, near the border of Nevada, famed for its gambling cities, had no idea just how much cash she would go home with.
Her win of the MegaJackpot broke the previous world record of $2,06-million set earlier this year, according to IGT.
