Oklahoma’s Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant awarded a life-changing $1M to a Texas grandmother over the weekend.
Rosa Guia of Lancaster found it hard to believe she was the lucky winner.
“I still can’t believe it. I can’t believe it because of how much it is. I know it’s real because I won $1 million tonight,” Guia was quoted by Texas’s Focus Daily News.
I’m not sure what I am going to do with the money, but I have four children and 12 grandchildren. I think I will take them somewhere,” she said.
This is not the first win for Guia at the gaming property. She won $41,000 in 2017.
“I love it here because I do win, and I can double my money,” she added.
Guia regularly goes to the gaming property. For more than a decade, she often shows up on weekends. Many times, her family joins her.
