Gambler bets $3 on slot machine — then hits big jackpot in CA. ‘Awesome win'
A lucky gambler took home a big jackpot after playing a slot machine at a Southern California casino.
The gambler was playing a slot machine at Yaamava' Resort & Casino, the Highland casino said in a June 2 Facebook post.
With a $3 bet, the player scored a $138,689.81 prize, the casino said.
'Yes, you read that right,' the casino said.
Facebook users were quick to comment on the big score, with some calling it an 'awesome win.'
'That's a JACKPOT,' another user wrote.
Days later, another gambler at the casino took home a big prize playing a low bet on a slot machine.
