LAS VEGAS, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A lucky slot enthusiast who was playing on global gaming entertainment leader IGT's (NYSE: IGT) Wheel of Fortune® had no idea a life-changing jackpot was brewing in his future until he became a big cheese, winning $1,439,241 at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, Wisc. on Monday, Nov. 24, 2014.
The player, who wished to remain anonymous, explained that he was initially unaware of the big win until a guest next to him pointed out the three winning symbols on his slot machine. He explained that he was swept off his feet when he realized the jackpot was a whopping $1.4 million.
