Hawai'i woman wins $5 million in Vegas slots

Associated Press

A woman from Hawai'i is $5 million richer after hitting a Wheel of Fortune slot machine jackpot at the Monte Carlo hotel and casino Saturday.

The woman had met some relatives in Las Vegas and was staying at the resort when she won the jackpot. She asked to remain anonymous.

The progressive jackpot was last won in April at the Venetian hotel-casino. That time it paid $2.5 million.
