Texas Woman Claims $5.4 Million
Jackpot
Experiencing
the biggest shock of her life, a self-employed, 45-year-old
woman visiting the Delta Downs Casino Sunday evening
screamed aloud after hitting a $5,395,039 statewide
progressive
jackpot while
playing a popular Wheel Of Fortune $5 slot
machine.
Candy Lynn Searcy of
Conroe, Texas, said her husband urged her to play the
available Wheel Of Fortune machine and had only wagered
about $50.
"I was actually here to
pick up my winnings statement for last year and decided to
play for a while," Searcy explained.
After the jackpot was
verified by Louisiana State Police and IGT technicians, she
said she happily posed for a photo with the oversized check
for $5.4 million.
"I plan to buy a new
house, place a down payment on a house for one of my
daughters, and buy my other daughter a new car," the excited
Searcy said. "But I'm not going to go on any wild spending
sprees."
This is the third Mega
Jackpots grand prize awarded in Louisiana so far this year
bringing the state's total prize payouts to more than $8
million in 2006.
