A woman in Oklahoma playing at the Newcastle Casino recently hit a slot jackpot worth nearly $8.5 million… at least she thought she did.
Maribel Sanchez told FOX 25 she woke up and left for the casino around 7 a.m. and sat down at a Liberty 7s slot machine, betting $1.25 when she hit the jackpot that wasn’t a jackpot. After all the bells and whistles, things took a turn.
“It says clearly the amount that she won, but now they’re saying it was a malfunction and not give her the amount,” Linda Sanchez said. She took a picture of the machine after she won and shared it with FOX 25. The picture shows she won $8,469,498.95. “They told her we’re not going to pay you. It was an error,” said Bill Zuhdi, a lawyer representing Maribel Sanchez.
