    A lucky Nevada gambler turned $3 into more than $1 million when they took out the Wheel of Fortune jackpot. 

    The Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson posted in celebration after the local took out their big win over the weekend. 

    The casino is just 13 miles southeast of Las Vegas, and is a common hotspot for locals. 

    ‘Congratulations to a local guest on hitting an incredible $1,048,675.87 jackpot playing IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Big Money at Sunset Station last night,’ the casino wrote on Saturday alongside a photo of the winning machine.

    The winning player has yet to reveal themselves. 

    The machine was a progressive slot video machine which also listed payouts of more than $10,000 and nearly $1,200. 

    On progressive slots, the prize pool grows each time a player places a wager.

    In many cases, the prize money is shared across multiple linked machines.

    Wheel of Fortune slot machines have made approximately 1,200 players millionaires, according to the manufacturer’s website. 

    Jackpots for lucky winners total to approximately $3.5 billion.

    A Wheel of Fortune slot machine player wins a jackpot of $100,000 or more every 72 hours. 

    ‘Wheel of Fortune is the most successful slot brand of all time,’ they wrote. 

    The slots were originally introduced in the 1990s and quickly became on of the most recognizable slot brands in the country. There are more than 50 machines in Nevada alone.

    They blend together one of the country’s favorite gameshows with the thrill of a life-changing win.

    Earlier this year, a Las Vegas gambler won big on a Wheel of Fortune machine with a similarly small bet. 

    The California native bet $2.50 on a machine at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa and won almost $500,000, according to 8News.  

    According to Casino.org, the odds of winning any money on a slot machine typically fall between 85 and 98 percent, though machines can be programmed to whatever odds the owner prefers.

    Regardless of programmed odds, all slot machines are 100 percent random and there is no fool-proof way to predict winnings or strategize a multi-million dollar spin.

    Getting lucky is rare. But millionaires like the Nevada gambler can often collect their winnings in a discounted lump sump or in an installments on a multi-year payment plan.

    The casino has posted about multiple other big winners this year including a $40,000 jackpot on a slot machine after a $5.50 bet.
