Anniversary celebration at Las Vegas casino ends in big win for California woman
A Southern California woman celebrating her 12th wedding anniversary in Las Vegas won a big jackpot at a poker table.
Now, she's $494,420 richer.
The woman went to The LINQ Hotel + Experience on April 13, the casino said in a news release.
She sat at a Three Card Poker table and ended up with a royal flush — the rarest hand in the game.
A royal flush happens when a player gets an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 in the same suit.
Her ace, queen and 10 matched with the dealer's king and jack, making a royal flush, the casino confirmed to McClatchy News.
She told the casino she planned to use the money to stay in Vegas longer and pay off debt.
The LINQ Hotel + Experience is on the center of the Las Vegas Strip. It's recognized by its 550-foot-tall Ferris wheel.
