Megabucks winner Joe Penn
JOE PENN surprised his wife, Melissa, with a trip to the Las Vegas World Market Center. On their last trip Melissa hit a $30,000 jackpot. This time around she hit the $3,000 on the $1 Megabuck.

With just $1 left, he put in another $100 bill - always play full coin because you never know when you’ll line up the three Megabucks Eagles and win $12,317,717! As he relaxed in the lounge, Penn was visited by Steve and Elaine Wynn (their name is on the hotel) and Andrew Pascal, president of Wynn Las Vegas.
