What did you do when you realized you'd hit the jackpot?
When I saw that I had won the jackpot I wasn't sure that it was real, I called in my wife to have her take a look, she wasn't sure either, although I could see she already had it spent. So I decided the best thing to do was call the casino. I spoke with them casino and they assured me that, yes indeed I had won. That's when my hands started to shake, my head began spinning and I started to run out of breath, Sound bad? Hell no, it was a great feeling.
How will you spend your winnings?
I don't think I'll have any problems finding a way to spend the money, we have 9 grandchildren, a house that we are re-doing, a boat that's in dry dock being repaired, a couple of tax bills that are due, etc. etc. Now that I've written all this down, I need to win another jackpot. Can you put in a good word for me?
What do you do for good luck?
I don't do anything special for good luck, no special charms or anything. But every morning that I wake up and the whole family is healthy, that's the start of another lucky happy day.
What is your dream holiday destination?
We have traveled quite a bit, but there are a few places that I still would like to visit. Alaska, Australia, Africa and the South Pacific. They aren't written by preference, I'll take them anyway they come.
Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself?
As you can tell from some of my answers I'm married, 64 years young, I'm a Territory Manager for a major manufacturer, I've been with them for over 20 years. My wife is also actively employed and very successful in her profession.
