Casino news source: Eyewitness News Memphis - http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/ Mechanic Strikes It Rich In Tunica Posted: 8/14/2006 3:30:05 PM A 40-year-old mechanic from Arkansas hit a $621,245 statewide MegaJackpot while playing the popular Wheel of Fortune slots on Saturday night. The man now wishes to remain anonymous. "I had seen other people hit on the three Wheel of Fortune games before and this was my first opportunity to play when no one else was on it," said the big winner. The man won his cash playing the 25 cent machines at the Sheraton Casino in Tunica on Saturday night. He was in town with a few friends for a guys' night out. He says he spent about $50 playing the slots before he won his fortune. "I didn't realize I had won until my friend told me and I just started screaming," he said. The winner says he plans to spend some of the money to pay off his car and his house. He also plans to give some to his mother and put the rest away for retirement because his job doesn't have a retirement plan. This is the tenth MegaJackpots grand prize awarded in Mississippi this year bringing the state total to almost $30 million.
