71 Year-Old Woman Wins $1.57 Million MegaJackpot

The lucky winner, who asked to remain anonymous, has been visiting Pechanga since it opened in 1994 and says, ``It pays to play at Pechanga!'' When asked what she will do with her winnings, she said, ``This will give me a chance to take some time off, start my retirement and take a trip to visit my 91 year-old mother.''

Anthony Miranda, president of Pechanga Development Corp., commented, ``We are pleased and excited that one of our players hit the Wheel of Fortune progressive jackpot. Because of the high volume of play we enjoy, Pechanga pays about 10,000 jackpots each week, but not in the $1.5 million league. Congratulations to our lucky winner and our thanks to her for her comment that 'It pays to play at Pechanga.'''

The $1.57 million jackpot at Pechanga is the second largest MegaJackpot that has been awarded in California. Pechanga Entertainment Center, located in Temecula on 45000 Pala Road, just off I-15, has 2,000 of the latest Vegas-style slots, 37 Blackjack tables and a 13-table Poker Room.

In addition to its current facilities, Pechanga has a new 14-story hotel and casino under construction with an opening scheduled for next summer. The new property will feature 522 luxury rooms & suites, a 75,000 square feet casino, 7 restaurants, and 40,000 square feet of conference space.
