I think I read somewhere that the prize is paid off over a yearly period, not in a lump sum. What's the matter don't the casinos have enough money to pay off all the money at once

I heard the odds of hitting the jackpot on that machine is 1 in 49,000,000.

Those are some excellent sensible points you make regarding about how to increase the casino's bottom line. And with all the current doom gloom about impending bankruptcies -they would pay some attention except for one major factor they have long been given a lisence to steal and it's created a bottomless insatiable pit called GREED.

Avaritia facit Bardus = Greed makes you (casinos )stupid!

I think one of the reasons there aren't more big jackpots in Vegas is because they have to keep supplying the little jackpots to keep people there, sticking their money into the machines.

I actually won over $100 at a slot machine in Atlantic City on a first date with my hubby. We used the money to pay for a nice dinner, played another $20 each, then drove home. Figured the rest paid for the gas. So essentially, we broke even.

I'm hoping we'll hit an even bigger jackpot this year playing P... [ More ]

That's the thing that makes me mad about casinos...Why can't casinos pay MORE JACKPOTS LIKE THIS....The more jackpots they pay like this the better they'll look....Why does a measly 33 million dollars which the lottery gives frequently and scratchoffs too why is that sum such a big deal in casinos....Casinos need to create something that will give lots and lots of multimillion dollars jackpots like start selling scratchoffs particular to casinos, or take 5 cents extra of every dollars and create...

You are 100% correct about it being an annuity payout! And the kicker, it's payable over a period of 20 years! And here is something else to think about those so call progressive jackpots! Did you know for every dollar taken in they only put 10 cents toward the jackpot? Yes, it's true. But the jackpot for the one she hit starts at 10 million and goes from there. So, for every 3 dollars only 30 cents went toward the jackpot! What a scam that is! Just think how much had to be played in-order to ge... [ More ]

Every progressive slot machine that I've ever seen with a multi-million dollar payout has small print on the machine that says it will be paid out over twenty (or more) years.Some casinos will offer the winner a cash option,though.

I hope that it is a lump sum !

Next year you would have to share the wealth with the Obama Regime !!!!!

I hope the Tea Partys are just the beginning of a taxpayer and citizens revolt against rouge spending

I was just in Vegas last week. I saw those Machines everywhere. You have to play $3 a spin for the jackpot. For the jackpot to get up to $33 million, which I am sure is an annuity but still, the odds have to be pretty staggering. Congrats to her. I didn't make it to Terribles, acutally never been there yet.

Congratulations I guess are in order....and if she is a smart woman, that would be the last time she enters a casino! Or set limits on how often and how much she would spend at each visit (like no more than $1,000 or so a visit and no more than 4 visits a year). Otherwise, what the good casino giveth...the good casino taketh away!!! And that would suck royally to have been a multimillionaire and lose it all.

Heck one thing she could do is invest in all that foreclosed property around there i... [ More ]

Nevada woman hits $33 million jackpot at casino

Lottery Post — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:50:46 GMT

A woman who had planned to spend a quiet Easter at home is $33 million richer after hitting the second largest Megabucks jackpot in history at a Nevada casino.

Slot machine maker International Game Technology says 38-year-old Rachael Renee Romanick hit the jackpot Sunday night at Terrible's Rail City in Sparks.

Romanick says a friend persuaded her to join him at the casino that night. She says she had been playing the machine for about 10 minutes when she landed the big prize.
