Lucky winner took home $1,044,559.11 after hitting the Dragon Link slot machine jackpot at Pechanga Resort Casino near Temecula, Calif.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TEMECULA, Calif.<\/strong> (May 15, 2025) \u2013 One Temecula local is looking to plan a family vacation after winning $1,044,559.11 at Pechanga Resort Casino the morning of Wednesday, May 14. After testing his luck at a few different slot machines, he sat down at a Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming. On the fifth spin at 11:11 a.m., he hit the jackpot, instantly becoming a millionaire and taking home $1,044,559.11.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me a second to realize what was actually happening,\u201d said the newly minted millionaire. \u201cMy hands started shaking, I still don\u2019t quite believe it to be honest. This is going to mean a lot for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Temecula local told Pechanga Resort Casino staff this was an unforgettable experience, and that he wants to set aside money to help support his family, with one fun exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy kids have been begging me to go to Disney World,\u201d noted the winner with a smile. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see their faces light up when they hear the news we are going this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almost exactly two months ago on March 13, a guest hit a $1,232,300.19 jackpot playing on a Dragon Link slot machine at Pechanga Resort Casino. Another Riverside County winner struck it big at Pechanga in mid-April winning $4,178,889.94.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
