Multi million dollar luck strikes twice for 92 year-old

September 16
 

This is a heart-warming story that online gambling fans all over the world will want to know about. Yesterday, a 92 year-old by the name of Elmer Sherwin, a Las Vegas retiree, hit the Megabucks jackpot for the second time in 16 years - winning more than $21.1 million. This time, he was playing at the Cannery Casino. The professed slot lover is a true example that lightning can stike the same spot twice.

Back in 1989 he won for the first time, taking home about $4.6 million at the Mirage. It must not have been enough for the slot regular who is said to have been $800 into the day when winning yet again - this time winning more than 5 times the amount he won about 16 years ago.

While he is not sure exactly how he will spend his new fortune, it is believed that he will share with his son and his wife and give a donation to Hurricane Katrina efforts. We believe that he will also continue to play his beloved Megabuck progressive.

After his first win, he said he would love a second jackpot - who knew...really, the odds of him hitting it a second time must have been millions and millions to one.

The Megabucks machine, made by International Game Technology, is a dollar slot machine with a building jackpot that requires a $3 bet to hit the top prize. The jackpot resets at $7 million after a jackpot is won and begins to build again until someone lines up the Megabucks symbols on the machine.

Awards are paid in annual installments or a lump sum. AT this time, it is not for certain which payment he will take, bets are all on the lump sum.

Over two years ago, a 25-year-old software engineer from Los Angeles hit the highest jackpot in Nevada history, $39.7 million, on a Megabucks slot machine.
