| | | Chicago Man Wins Over $471,000 Slot Jackpot at Grand Victoria Casino |
| ELGIN, ILLINOIS – On May 2, 2006, Pedro M, a real estate broker from Chicago, Illinois won $471,620 while playing on a $5 Five Times Pay™ machine. Pedro, who was in Elgin to drop off a friend, decided to stop by the Grand Victoria on his way home. Earlier that day, he had read about the $28.2 Million in total slot jackpots that the Grand Victoria paid out in March. He thought he should try and win some for himself. “It’s like God talked to me and told me to play here,” he explained. Three pulls later, he won.
Pedro immediately called his wife, Nieves, who is expecting their third child. Although she did not immediately believe him, she is grateful for this windfall. “We’ve been so blessed,” she says. Pedro intends to put a large portion of his winnings into a savings account.
“We’re all so happy for Pedro! And he’s not alone. In April alone, we paid out over $30 MILLION in slot jackpots!” says Michelle Bell, Director of Marketing.
