LA GRANGE, Missouri – (PRESS RELEASE) -- A La Belle, Missouri man has become the second millionaire to walk out of Terrible's Mark Twain Casino within one week. James Fifer hit the $1,875,907.08 jackpot on a one-dollar 'Wheel of Fortune' machine. "This is a dream come true," Said Fifer of his good fortune. "I kept saying over and over: I want to hit the spin, I want to hit the spin." He added. The only definite plans James has for his winnings is a trip to Hawaii with his wife. The 'Wheel of Fortune' game that produced the jackpot is part of a wide area progressive slot machine network throughout the state of Missouri.

Said Bob Thursby, manager of Terrible's Mark Twain casino. "We pride ourselves on being a fun place to play. I think Brenda and James would both agree!"
