A Las Vegas casino visitor who spent $5 and left with over $1.5 million has revealed what he was carrying which gave him ‘tremendous luck’<\/h2>\n

A visitor at a casino in California left over $1 million richer after spending just $5 on a game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I think too hard about all the $5 or $10 I’ve spent on\u00a0the lottery<\/a>\u00a0or the odd scratch card here and then, and how much it would total up to versus how much I’ve ever actually won, I would probably shed a tear or two.<\/p>\n

Despite winning a solid\u00a0$100<\/a>\u00a0on a scratch card once, it certainly wouldn’t make up for the amount I’ve shelled out just because one day I’ve felt ‘lucky’, either from being sh*t on by a bird – believe it or not, this has actually happened twice – or just because it’s a Friday, I’ve had a drink and why not?<\/p>\n

However, one visitor doesn’t need to dream up, wish for or loiter around any birds who need the loo in order to get lucky, after walking into\u00a0a casino<\/a> with $5 and walking back out a millionaire.<\/p>\n

An unidentified man from\u00a0Hawaii\u00a0<\/a>visited California Hotel and Casino in\u00a0Las Vegas<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday (12 June) with his son in celebration of his 21st birthday, Boyd Gaming\u00a0told\u00a0<\/a>Fox 5 Vegas.<\/p>\n

And the visitor’s son’s birthday definitely ended up being one he won’t forget anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The visitor reportedly spent $5 on IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slots game at around 4:00am in the morning.<\/p>\n

And parting with $5 was certainly worth it for this lucky man, who ended up hitting a bonus wheel with three 7\u2032s across the payline, subsequently winning a big ol’ jackpot on the game and walking away with a whopping $1,569,632.91 cheque.<\/p>\n

The visitor was reportedly in ‘disbelief’ over the win and it’s not taken long for news of his luck to go\u00a0viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

News of the jackpot win was shared to\u00a0Reddit<\/a>\u00a0thread r\/Oahu\u00a0by\u00a0<\/a>user\/808SOS and people have been quick to flock to the post to congratulate the winner.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s enough to own a studio in Kalihi,” u\/Deranged_Coconut808 added.<\/p>\n

U\/blueblazer2723 said: “I\u2019m surprised the machine didn\u2019t \u201cglitch\u201d and the person betting only gets 5$ and a free drink.”<\/p>\n

And if you want to know why the visitor believes he won to be in with a chance of hitting the jackpot yourself?<\/p>\n

Well, a news release from California Hotel & Casino states, as\u00a0quoted<\/a>\u00a0by Khon 2: “The winner attributed his tremendous luck to a red envelope he carried in his pocket during his visit, symbolizing good luck, prosperity and happiness.”<\/p>\n
