A New Jersey woman has shocked hundreds after she won the $2.4 million jackpot at an Atlantic City casino after betting just $10.
The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, won the whopping jackpot during her first spin on the Wheel of Fortune Double Sapphire Gold Spin slot machine at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
According to the casino’s Twitter page, the woman snagged $2,481,940.75. The casino tweeted: “Talk about a way to end the summer! Just after 3 pm yesterday, a Hawthorne, New Jersey woman hit the progressive jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune Double Sapphire Gold Spin game.

Several Twitter users congratulated the unnamed woman on the social media platform while most were completely shocked by the huge win.
The massive win occurred at the Borgata casino, the largest and top-grossing casino located in the resort city. Owned by MGM Resorts, the casino opened back in July 2003 and made history earlier this summer after launching a mobile sports betting app called PlayMGM, becoming the second casino to do so in New Jersey.
The news comes after another New Jersey woman won over $287,000 after playing online slots during a work conference call. The woman’s win is the largest online slots payout in the history of the United States and broke the winning record in New Jersey, which was last held by Philadelphia’s SugarHouse Casino.
