CHANDLER, Ariz. — A grandmother from Mesa is going home with a big smile and a bigger check.
Wanda D. recently took home a $1 million prize from the Million Dollar King of Cards progressive jackpot at the Gila River Resorts and Casino's Lone Butte venue.
"I am beyond excited and can hardly believe it," said Wanda. "This will allow me to help my family in so many ways, and I’m looking forward to taking more time to travel, something I’ve always dreamed of doing."
The jackpot is offered only at Gila River Resorts and Casinos locations, and this is the second of its kind ever awarded at Lone Butte.
"As a devoted grandmother and mother, Wanda’s first thought was for her family, and we are thrilled to see her use this opportunity to enrich their lives," said Denise Pfaff, General Manager of Lone Butte.
