LAS VEGAS, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A lucky player tapped a fountain of wealth after hitting a $1,094,560.56 jackpot on global gaming entertainment giant, IGT's (NYSE: IGT), legendary slot machine Wheel of Fortune. The fortunate slot enthusiast was playing the fan-favorite MegaJackpots® game at Bellagio in Las Vegas on June 7, 2014 when she placed the winning wager.

The winner, a Florida resident, was visiting Las Vegas with family when she was struck with luck. The long-time fan of the Wheel of Fortune game family cited that the entire experience was "unbelievable," and prompted her to extend her stay in Las Vegas a few more days to celebrate.  The lucky winner plans to invest the jackpot winnings.
