WASHINGTON MAN HITS MEGAJACKPOT® FOR $378,453 ON EXACT WHEEL OF FORTUNE MACHINE AS YEARS BEFORE AT THE LUXOR
March 15, 2008
(Las Vegas, Nev.) – Randal Allen Welch, of Anacortes, Wash., hit a $378,453 Wheel of Fortune® quarter MegaJackpot® at the Luxor late Friday evening, March 14.
Welch was in Las Vegas with co-workers attending the CONEXPO, an International convention for the construction industry, when the small amount he invested made him a rich man. The lucky winner stated that he hit the MegaJackpot® on the same Wheel of Fortune® machine that hit at a previous time.
“I chose to play the same machine because I won $1,700 on it a few years ago,” said the excited winner. “I had no idea I’d win this much!”
The 39-year-old underground construction worker plans to invest his winnings.
