Louisiana Resident Wins $12.3 Million Slots Jackpot on Las Vegas Trip
Joey Penn, a 38-year-old resident of Zachary, Louisiana, recently scooped an amazing $12.3 million jackpot while playing a Megabucks slot machine at Las Vegas' Wynn Casino. Penn, a partner in a construction company and owner of a truck stop, was vacationing in Las Vegas with his wife, Melissa, when he hit the slots jackpot. The casino-goers planned their trip so that it would coincide with the World Market Center's July market, where they hoped to find design ideas for their future home.
Penn invested $100 in the Megabucks slots before the reels stopped, showing three eagle symbols. When asked about what he intended to do with his winnings, Penn reportedly answered that he would fund his children's college education and purchase his wife a Bentley Continetal GT.
