A Colorado Springs woman recently won 5,329.80 at a Wheel of Fortune progressive slot at Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek—the largest jackpot in the history of the casino. What makes the win even more interesting is that the woman, identified as “Rebecca,” won a million Powerball jackpot in 2007.
“I guess I’m just a lucky person,” Rebecca said, adding she was at Wildwood Casino celebrating her father’s birthday. Wildwood Director of Gaming Mike Chaput said, “I’ve been in the gaming industry in this town for 26 years and have never seen a jackpot of this size. What a fun day for all who were involved.”
The previous record jackpot at Wildwood Casino was $678,198 won in 2011.
