THEN AT PARIS ... “I had just started playing a machine and had played about $25 when the woman next to me got up and walked away from the machine she was playing,” the woman said. “So I just reached over and played that machine and it hit. I started screaming and jumping around.” We’d be jumping, too, if our Wheel of Fortune machine hit for $1.6 million. The 63-year-old woman was with her daughters and plans to use some of the kala to build her dream home in the Philippines.

He says, “We went to visit Aria for breakfast and decided to play a bit when we got there. I put $40 in the machine and I was down to my last $6 when the game lit up.”
