Elizabeth F. of Bakersfield was playing the Wheel of Fortune slot machines at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore -- and hit the jackpot. Now she's $1.15 million richer, thanks to the lucky spin.
A Tachi Palace representative said it's a great way to start the New Year.
Four other people were big winners too -- each winning $10 thousand big ones in the month of December.
