Winning at the casino is a wonderful thing—any time of the year. But it is particularly great, amazing, and fantastic to win around the holidays. And so we present a very lucky group of winners who
did just that. ey won fabulous casino jackpots and awesome promotion prizes during the last three months in Southern California featured casinos.
We know from your e-mails, phone calls and letters how much you want to see all kinds of jackpots—big, small, on slots, at the tables, and for promotions. And, yes, we know you want as many details as possible. So we’ve included a little background on some of these very lucky winners. Read on, and visualize yourself one day on these pages—or on the Winners page.
Every month we feature nine winners on the very popular Winners page (page 34). If you’re like most readers, you probably gaze longingly at that page, perhaps even envisioning your photo there—or at least wishing it could be there—imagining just how wonderful you would feel if you hit a big jackpot. Nine winners a month—
108 winners a year—that’s the number of winners we share. And those lucky casino players are barely the tip of the big Southern California casino winners list. For every winner’s photo you see on our pages, each month, there are at least 1,000 big winners at featured casinos who,
for one reason or another, are camera shy. And while jackpots come in all sizes, a big jackpot is a relative term, so we de ne a big jackpot as any single slot or poker or table game win over $10,000, or any amazing promotion prize. So check out these recent winners who were thrilled, we’re sure, to be
part of holiday winning.
Fantastic Car Winners
As the anticipation began to peak, hundreds of people amassed inside Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and gathered around the game stage on Saturday night, October 29th, to look on as one lucky player would receive the keys to a brand new Lotus Elise in the Off to the Races Lotus Giveaway. Although there were 54 contestants, it would be Sheryl S. of Indio, who would be the ultimate grand prize winner, making it the rst large prize she had ever won. Originally from the Philippines, Sheryl now calls the Coachella Valley home, and likes to play at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
