UNCASVILLE, CT – Mohegan Sun awarded a $704,939 Wheel of Fortune® MegaJackpot® on a one-dollar machine in Casino of the Sky on Saturday, February 6th. The winner, who asked to remain anonymous, said he was visiting the casino with a friend and “always plays the same bank of six machines, and only Wheel of Fortune®.” When asked how he felt upon realizing his MegaJackpot® win, the winner replied, “I saw the first two drop and then I saw the third drop in slow motion. Then I screamed ‘I hit the progressive!’” The excited winner went on to say he will share his news with only a few close friends and plans to use his winnings to pay bills and as a down payment on a house.
