A Kelowna man couldnѻýt believe his luck after he realized he won $1.485 million on a Wheel of Fortune Lucky Coins slot machine at Chances Casino.
ѻýHoly cow, thatѻýs not possible!ѻý Greg Moroso said of his jackpot win on March 22. He was making $3 wagers on a Powerbucks progressive slot machine.
ѻýQuite frankly, I just wanted to sit down in a nice, comfortable chair for a little bit, so the win was a big plus,ѻý Moroso added.
He called his partner on FaceTime right away to share the news with her.
ѻýShe said she went numb when I told her. She was so shocked and it didnѻýt sink in for her until about 48 hours later,ѻý he said.
Moroso will be checking off bucket list items with the win including an Eagles concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas and buying an RV to travel across Canada.
ѻýIѻým going to get some good seats for the concert,ѻý he said. ѻýThis win takes away any worries and will provide a comfortable retirement where I can focus on family.ѻý
