The million-dollar winners for this month are announced: an anonymous player took home the jackpot prize of $1.46 million at an Atlantic City casino, and an unnamed man from Nebraska wins $1.6 million on a visit to Vegas. Other lucky players, such as Agostino Limongelli (who we just reported about recently) won the FanDuel prize of $1 million, and two visitors from Hawaii won big in Vegas as well.

In a stroke of luck, an unidentified woman from Morris County, New Jersey, won an astonishing $1.46 million jackpot at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City earlier this month. The fortunate winner was playing an Aristocrat Gaming Dollar Storm slot early in the morning of September 14 when she placed a modest $20 bet that ultimately transformed her life.

This significant win stands out as one of the largest payouts in the history of Ocean Casino Resort. A spokesperson for the casino confirmed the news, stating, "The jackpot marks one of the most significant payouts in the casino's history."

Ocean Casino Resort, known for its lavish accommodations and entertainment offerings along the Atlantic City Boardwalk, has attracted players from all over the country, and the recent win further strengthens its reputation as a hotspot for big payouts.

Other big wins across the nation

As news of the $1.46M win at Ocean Casino Resort broke, it was revealed that major jackpots have been popping up across the country this month.

In Las Vegas, a man identified only as Scott from Omaha, Nebraska, hit the jackpot at Planet Hollywood. On the 5th of September, Scott was trying out Pai Gow Poker when he won a staggering $1.62 million by landing a seven-card straight flush along with a joker. Scott had been playing for about 90 minutes when he scored the progressive jackpot, much to his astonishment.

The win came at a perfect time for Scott, who was at the casino to try his luck before watching a Kansas City Chiefs game. He was even wearing a shirt featuring the number of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a fitting touch as the Chiefs went on to win their match against the Baltimore Ravens with a score of 27 - 20 that same night.

Scott immediately called his wife to share the good news. He plans to invest his newfound fortune, reflecting a practical approach to his windfall.

FanDuel Casino's $1M sweepstakes

Meanwhile, in an online sweepstakes promotion, a man named Agostino Limongelli became the lucky recipient of a $1 million prize from FanDuel Casino. The 62-year-old man's surprise was evident when he was informed of his win during a live YouTube broadcast on September 9. We reported on his win about a week ago, and Limongelli's first response was sheer disbelief. He went on to express his excitement, sharing that he would use the money to purchase a car and take a well-deserved vacation.

"I don't know what to say. I'm shocked. A million dollars... My heart is racing out of my head," he added. Limongelli also thanked FanDuel for the unexpected windfall.

Another slot machine jackpot in Las Vegas

In a separate instance, a visitor from Hawaii struck it big while playing at a Wheel of Fortune slot at the California Hotel & Casino in downtown Vegas. The mystery player, who wished to remain anonymous, won an impressive $891,775.72 on August 6 after betting just $1.75.

Interestingly, this wasn't the first major jackpot hit at the California Hotel & Casino in recent months. Back in June, another visitor from Hawaii won a $1.5 million jackpot while playing the same Wheel of Fortune slot. That winner had been visiting Vegas to enjoy the 21st birthday of his son, and in a fun twist, the June winner attributed his good luck to a red envelope he had in his pocket, a token often associated with good fortune in many cultures.
