Last Saturday, Michael H., a retired American Airlines employee who now drives a shuttle bus for an independent living community, was at home with his wife, Betty, in Chandler, Arizona. They had planned on a weekend getaway but their plans fell through and they were discussing other things to do that day. Betty suggested they go to the nearby Gila River Resorts & Casinos. Michael said he didn't want to. Betty pressed on saying she felt like they were going to win big today. Michael finally said "fine! But we better come home with more money in our pockets than we're heading there with."
Well that didn't exactly happen, because it's impossible to put $1,000,000 in your pocket! That's right they hit a jackpot on a slot machine! The casino says this was only the fourth million-dollar jackpot award at the casino!
The couple tells Fox 19 they’re going to use their newfound wealth to buy a new home and spend more time with their grandchildren and quit driving the shuttle bus. .
