Happy
Anniversary
Ron and Joann Ohm
traveled from Sacramento
to South Lake
Tahoe to celebrate their
32nd wedding anniversary
unaware that they would soon be instant slots millionaires.
Ron said he only put
$20 in the Wheel of Fortune machine and played for just 15
minutes,
building up
512 credits when the big jackpot of $1,538,
757 hit at the Lake Tahoe
Horizon
Casino Resort.
"I always
play the Wheel of Fortune slots," he said.
"When it hit I
jumped up and started clapping and asked people to go find my wife."
Ron is a delivery
truck driver for a uniform company. "Now you can afford to hire
somebody
to do the work," wife Joann said. "No," replied Ron. "This
isn't going to change me, I'll do the work."
The Ohms said they
would use the money to pay for their daughter's student loans. She just earned her
masters degree at the University of San Francisco.

It's
Fabulous!
Jim Mikowski of Traverse City,
MI. had a plan: go to Turtle Creek Casino
in Williamsburg to play
the same Fabulous 50's machine
that
he knew had hit nine months earlier for over $900,000.
The progressive
slots prize had grown to $1,249,273.63 and with just $20,
he says, "but I wanted to be absolutely sure I had hit the
jackpot before I made a fool of myself. I made sure and then I jumped
up and down
and yelled. Next to getting married and having my kids, this was
definitely the
most exciting moment in my life."
Mikowski is a
plumbing and heating contractor and when asked if the win had allowed
him to
retire, he replied, "I do plan to retire, but, I have commitments for
jobs
through the end of the year. These contractors were good to me before I
became
a millionaire; I couldn't just leave them hanging."
"We celebrated
this win and our 40th anniversary in a big way," he said. "My wife
Barbara and I took our daughter, son-in- law, and two grandchildren to
Las
Vegas for a week, and then we went on to visit our other daughter and
her
husband in California.
We all had a ball.
We are now planning a trip to Hawaii. We have
also donated to our favorite charity.
My retirement, the trips--none of it would have happened without the
win."

Nice and Lucky

convention. Afterwards, they decided to break up the drive home with a
stop in Mesquite at the

'the
Wheels slots'. Barbara joined her husband at the right moment for his
MegaJackpot win
of $1,076,742 on
his fourth pull!
Barbara recalls,
"I walked up to him and said, Honey what did you win?" "I'm not
sure," Charles said, "but I think it's the big one."
It turns out that
his favorite, 5 Times Wheel of Fortune machine made him an instant
millionaire!
Barb relates the special treatment afterwards, "They moved us to a
suite
for the weekend, we were given complimentary massages and complimentary
dinners, and to top it off, a bottle of Dom Perignon.
Everyone was just so
marvelous. We then called our two grown children on our cell phone, but
they
didn't believe us at first." "My husband and
I are continuing to work," Barbara said.
"We're going to
invest the money for our retirement. It will certainly give
us security and peace of
mind, but it really won't alter our lives."
"You know I
think this is why people gamble, for the big one and you never know
when it’s
going to happen. I'm just happy that it happened to us!"
Barbara added,
"This couldn’t' have happened to a nicer person than my husband.
Everyone
comments on how thoughtful and generous he is, and if anyone deserves
to win a
million big ones it's him."
