John Coward Won $306,310 playing Bingo at Pechanga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TEMECULA<\/strong>, Calif. \u2013 (March 15, 2016) \u2013 A Murrieta, Calif. man struck the largest progressive jackpot Tuesday at Pechanga Bingo since its reopening in July 2013. John Coward, a retired United States Army communications expert, former supermarket manager and construction company owner, hit the Blue MP Bingo\u00ae Jackpot at Pechanga Bingo and won $306,310.00. He and his wife, Doris, played in the afternoon session. As he was about to call \u201cBingo!\u201d he realized the fourth blue square needed to trigger the jackpot on the bingo grid illuminated in the number that allowed him to win the game. In addition to winning $500 for getting Bingo, the 82 year old was able to take home the jackpot that will let Doris and him celebrate their 64th wedding anniversary in style this May.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me this morning, \u2018I think I\u2019m going to have a big win today,\u2019\u201d said Doris. \u201cI told him, \u2018sure, ok, dear.\u2019 This is so amazing. I think I just about exploded inside. He\u2019s still in shock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"2013_0704_Bingo__paper&handheld_sm\"<\/a>John told casino staff he and his wife enjoy coming to Pechanga Bingo with their neighbors. \u201cThis makes retirement a lot easier and comfortable,\u201d he said. He also told Pechanga Bingo staff they like to go on cruises and may upgrade their cabin on their next at-sea excursion.<\/p>\n

John\u2019s MP Planet Bingo Blue MPBingo\u00ae jackpot is the third six digit jackpot to be won at Pechanga Resort & Casino in less than two months. In late January, a winner hit a Buffalo Grand slot machine to win a $784,729 jackpot. Eight days later, a Compton, Calif. nurse won on the exact same machine for $552,934.90.<\/p>\n

Pechanga Resort and Casino makes winners out of players every day. You could be next.<\/p>\n
