Watch the excitement of this Marine and his friends as he wins $2.8 million dollars. How cool is that? Although the odds are against you in a casino, jackpots are still won. And sometimes those jackpots are pretty big. One time I was playing at the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall in Laughlin, Nevada when a lady won $2.4 million on a progressive slot machine. Another time my wife and I were sitting next to a lady that won $26,000 on progressive bonus poker at Laughlin Golden Nugget. But I digress. The point is that yes, people really do win humongous jackpots – once in a while. Someday I’ll find the photos of my big wins and post some of them here.
