'Ewa man wins $1 million playing 'Wheel of Fortune'

Advertiser Staff

Las Vegas — While on vacation, Justin Pantohan never imagined that he would go home $1,049,419 dollars richer.

Pantohan hit a Wheel of Fortune quarter MegaJackpot early Saturday morning at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

A 23 year-old service technician from Ewa, Pantohan likes the spin option on the machine.

Pantohan had only invested $20 in the machine before hitting the MegaJackpot.

"I wasn't sure if I had won," he said. "I just wanted to spin the wheel."

The lucky winner says that he will continue working and pay some bills.
