Post subject: Great-Grandmother Hits Big
|
|
 |
|
Eighty-year-old great grandmothers shouldn't have to go to work anymore. That's not something Rebecca Berry will ever have to worry about again.
Monday night Berry played a $1 progressive slot machine at Mystic Lake Casino and won more than $1.3 million.
Berry, who lives in Hawaii, comes to Minnesota a couple times a year to visit two of her daughters and usually makes several trips to the casino while here.
She said she had a feeling about the Wild Cherry machine that ultimately paid big. "I would play, walk away, play, walk away, and I kept coming back to the same machine for two days."
Back in Hawaii Berry works as a secretary for U.S. district court judge. "I was planning on retiring early next year but I'm going to call him and say I quit," she laughs.

Damn! I've played that machine before, too. Well, I don't know if it's the exact machine, but I've played that progressive.

they have a wild cherry with a million dollar progressive? That's pretty impressive and setting themselves up for a big loss in a hurry

That is wonderful that the grandmother won the big bucks!!! Just too bad she didn't win it 20 years ago so she could have retired early.
Working till I am 80 is not something I want to do. I am hoping to hang up my hat at age 64. Time will tell.
God Bless that woman! I hope she enjoys that money.

Wouldn't that be some retirement! Of course if I wait till I'm 80 I'll just have to move into a casino to spend it faster...LOL

Jean,
I'm with you on that. Just find me at the Blackjack table. I will be the one with $10,000 in chips in front of me.

I can't see me working until I'm 80 years old either! I hope to retire at at 62-65. I think anyone working at that age deserves to win that much money! I don't blame her...I would quit my job too! LOL
