Winner Moving On

The woman who won the largest slot machine jackpot in Florida history is now taking her game on the road. Terese is a winter resident of Land O’Lakes, Florida, and was lucky enough to hit the jackpot while playing the slot machines. She is now taking her money and heading west.

Terese won $2.5 million playing the slot machines at Tampa’s Hard Rock Casino, making her the largest slot machine winner in the state. Now, as the state just legalized slot machines that may not seem like a big deal, but to Terese it doesn’t really matter that much.

She says that she was sitting at the slot machine wishing that she could hit the big jackpot and then lo and behold she did. She says it was the very next spin after she had the thought. Harder for her is trying to hold on to her anonymity. She was featured in full page newspaper ads for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in both local papers – a small price to pay however for the $2.9 million she walked away with.

She says that she was bored while her husband was off playing golf, and decided to go play the slot machines at the casino with a friend of hers on November 25th. She says that she had been there before on a total of six different visits. Now she is taking her money and heading to Las Vegas to try her luck there. She says her and her husband had been planning to go, and now they could go in style.
