How to become $5 Million Richer

It is stories of giant jackpot winnings that inspire players to gamble at casinos. Everybody wants to be the next Chris Moneymaker or Jamie Gold in poker, or a lady from Hillsboro, Oregon in slots.

Oregon? Slots?!

Yes. The woman, who was visiting in Florence, Oregon and played the Penny Wheel of Fortune slot at the Three Rivers Casino on Friday, March 6, 2009, became the winner of a $5,284,316 progressive jackpot, which she had bet only $4 on.

The jackpot instantly became the highest progressive jackpot ever hit at the casino. It is also a sure bet that it will become a classic story and inspire many others to go for rich at casinos.

Do you have to travel all the way to Oregon? Not at all. It can be done from home, for bets lower than $4 and jackpots as high as $5,693,620.07 (the progressive jackpot sum at River Belle Casino's Mega Moolah at time of writing this article).
