Woman's Win Sets Slot Record

A woman from Woodbridge, Ontario set a new Canadian record last night when she won close to $9 million on a slot machine at Casino Rama.

53 year old Anna Falco had been playing the Megabucks Wide Area Progressive machines for close to an hour when all of a sudden she hit the record setting slot jackpot of $8,920,622.89, eclipsing the previous jackpot payout by over $7 million.

The progressive has been hit just 3 other times at the casino since its' implementation back in 2001. The previous amounts were $1.8 million won in December of 2002, $2.1 million in February of 2005 and $1.2 million in July of the same year.

Anna and her husband, Franco, plan to share the winnings with family and friends.

Makes you wonder just how many people lost their shirts before Falco got lucky...
