Gambler heeds wife's advice - and wins big prize at CA casino. 'Hasn't hit home'
Briefly

An Eastvale couple visiting Pechanga Resort Casino experienced a life-changing moment when the husband, encouraged by his wife, decided to play a slot machine before their night ended. Betting $20 after initially investing $100, he unknowingly triggered a massive progressive jackpot of $4,178,889.94. Although they gained a fortune, they expressed intentions to assist their adult children with debts rather than retire. This significant win highlights both the serendipitous nature of gambling and the couple's family-oriented values in managing their newfound wealth.
"I didn't know we won at first. I thought I hit $230. But then I saw 'call attendant' pop up on the screen, and I knew that was big."
"It hasn't hit home yet. I thank God my wife told me to play it. It’s surreal. We’re still processing what happened."
