Reno Slot Machine Makes Millionaire

Oft times, when life changes, it is sudden and unexpected.  It all happened one bright Sunday morning for Kathleen Chapman.  Chapman was scheduled to meet up with a buddy for brunch in Reno, Nevada.  To pass the time as she waited, she decides to hit the slot machines in the Atlantis Casino and Resort. 

Chapman’s slot machine of choice that day was the Wheel of Fortune Mega Jackpot machine.  After enough time had passed for her to drop approximately $100 into the slot machine, Chapman hit the jackpot.   And boy did she hit the jackpot.  All of a sudden Kathleen Chapman had an extra $1,054,428 added to her name.  Brunch was probably on her that day.

The sudden blessings of Lady Luck turned Chapman into a slot machine millionaire.  Chapman, 51-years old, currently works as a technical support administrator.  She has no clear vision yet on how she plans to let her jackpot affect her future.  She has only expressed two short term intentions.  First, she will honor her parents with a Germany vacation.  Second, the slot machine money will fund a few remodeling projects on her home in Lincoln, California.

The 52,000 square foot Atlantis Casino Resort Spa houses 1,452 slot machines.  The large casino also has forty-two table games.  Atlantis is located on the corner of South Virginia and Peckham Lane on the strip.  The casino features a 983-room hotel and eight restaurants.
