What can you do with $12 million?

A 71 year-old woman, on her way to see the daylight recital of "The Magic of Rick Thomas" at the Orleans Hotel & Casino, made a tiny miracle of her own when she stroked the dollar Megabucks jackpot for $12,076,530.

Nevada Mega Jackpots Corporation has been hit for more than $38 million in the past 10 days. In addition to this big win, Wheel of Fortune Special Edition made happy a $7.8 million player in Reno on January 27, and an $18.7 million Penny Megabucks jackpot winner on January 31 in Pahrump, Nevada.

The unspecified old lady had come to the Orleans to eat before the 2 p.m. show. After the lunch, on her way to the theater, she stopped to play Megabucks.

She sustained the fact that she has been playing Megabucks for years. For her, gambling was a pleasure of life. She also said that she comes at the Orleans Hotel & Casino very often, particularly on Sunday after church.

So, in that special day, she gambled $20 and after some draws, she saw the first Megabucks symbol become clear, then the second and then the third. All happened very slow, in a way were you could see them fall one at a time. But the lucky lady knew right away that she had won. She only didn't know how much...

The woman, a previous interior designer who moved to Las Vegas in 2000, said that the prize will help her pay off the credit on her home. She will also offer money to her church and split the winnings with her family.
