$1M Progressive Jackpot Won On Pechanga Resort Casino Slot Machine

TEMECULA, CA — A San Diego County woman won a $1,153,944.82 progressive slot machine jackpot after a recent visit to Pechanga Resort Casino.

"On Oct. 1, the guest enjoyed the casino floor, tried her luck on a Dragon Link Happy and Prosperous slot by Aristocrat Gaming, then hit it big," a casino resort spokesperson shared in a recent news release.

She bet the minimum allowed on the machine—$25.

Moments later, gold coin images continued to fill the screen during her bonus round until it was completely covered in coins, signaling she won the progressive jackpot and would be $1,153,944.82 richer.

"The winner chose to keep her plans private, but her milestone win continues a run of exciting jackpot payouts at Pechanga Resort Casino," the spokesperson said.
