SANTA BARBARA WOMAN WINS $150K ‘DREAM BIG’ GIVEAWAY AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT
SANTA YNEZ, CA – April 26, 2022 – A Santa Barbara woman won the “Dream Big” giveaway Sunday night at the Chumash Casino Resort, claiming the ultimate vacation vehicle – a 2022 Georgetown Motorhome, worth over $150,000.
The winner, a guest known as Martha O., said she didn’t even know her name had been called during the quarterly giveaway grand-prize drawing at 10 p.m.
“A man leaned over and told me he thought my name was called,” Martha said. “I figured it was probably just something small like $1,500 in slot free play.”
When Martha arrived at the promotions desk to claim her prize, she learned it was much more.
“They told me I won the $150,000 grand prize,” Martha said. “I couldn’t believe it. I was surprised. It completely caught me off guard.”
Martha accumulated entries for the drawing over the past three months by using her player’s club card whenever she played slots or table games on the casino floor.
“I stick to the slot machines,” Martha said. “I either play the gorillas or the tikis.”
Martha said she likes to venture up from Santa Barbara and play on Sundays and the occasional Friday or Saturday night.
“I keep coming back because of my host,” Martha said. “The hosts treat me wonderfully. It’s heartwarming. They always say hi and try their best for me when I visit.”
The Chumash Casino Resort’s next quarterly giveaway will be titled “Unfold Your Fortune,” featuring a total of $250,000 in cash and prizes, with 30 winners selected on Sunday, July 31. The “Unfold Your Fortune” grand-prize drawing will be held at 10 p.m., with one lucky winner walking away with $50,000 in cash.
