California Woman Wins World Record Penny MegaJackpots Prize

STATELINE, Nevada – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Shigeko Ide Stein visits The Twilight Zone Video Slots at AVI Resort and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada three times a week. Her persistence in playing pennies paid off in a big way Wednesday evening when she became the latest MegaJackpots millionaire, winning a jackpot of $2,995,071 which surpasses the previous world record of $2,065,685 hit earlier this year.

Stein, a 61-year-old business manager from Needles, California, says she took "the only open seat at the four Twilight Zone games."

The big win did not surprise Stein as she had a premonition earlier this week that she was going to win on a MegaJackpots game at the AVI Resort and Casino.

Stein said she knew instantly that her maximum coin bet had won, but did not realize how much until she saw the other MegaJackpots meters reset to $200,000. "I just had a good feeling after seeing a woman had a winning combination but didn't have a max coin bet," she added.

The lucky winner says she will keep her job, pay off her debt and look after her friend with her winnings.
