“My granddaughter, who turns 16 in September, is going to get a new car.” “I’m going to pay for my grandkids’ tuition,” he said. When asked what he plans to do with his second large jackpot in as many months, he said he plans to share it with his kids and grandkids. “I came here to win it (the $1.3 million jackpot) after winning the last one ($556K jackpot),” he said.
Saturday night’s winner, who says he visits the resort every couple of months, is fresh off hitting another big jackpot for over a half-million dollars just a mere five weeks ago, at the slot machine located right next to this one.
“I was just surprised and very glad,” the Ventura County winner said. Saturday, July 1, the winner, a guest who preferred to remain anonymous, was playing a progressive slot machine in the resort’s Higher Limits room when he made his lucky spin for over $1 million. SANTA YNEZ, CA – J– A Ventura County man, who had just won a $556K jackpot on a slot machine in May at the Chumash Casino Resort, hit a $1.3 million progressive jackpot on Saturday night to claim the largest jackpot in the resort’s history.Īfter 9 p.m.
