MESA, Ariz. — It looks like Arizona has a new millionaire.
Rigoberto Munoz visited the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort in Fort McDowell on May 19 and hit the jackpot on the Wheel of Fortune slot machine. But it almost didn't happen.
“I was just about to leave and decided to put another hundred-dollar bill in there,” Munoz said. “Then I hit the wheel of fortune, the big one. I’m really excited and can’t believe it – I’m still pinching myself. I have no words.”
Officials from the casino said receiving a payout this large on a slot machine is extremely rare.
No word yet on what Munoz plans to do with his winnings.
