VENTURA COUNTY MAN HITS $1.3 MILLION JACKPOT, LARGEST IN CHUMASH CASINO RESORT HISTORY
SANTA YNEZ, CA – July 5, 2023 – A Ventura County man, who had just won a $556K jackpot on a slot machine in May at the Chumash Casino Resort, hit a $1.3 million progressive jackpot on Saturday night to claim the largest jackpot in the resort’s history.
After 9 p.m. Saturday, July 1, the winner, a guest who preferred to remain anonymous, was playing a progressive slot machine in the resort’s Higher Limits room when he made his lucky spin for over $1 million.
“I was just surprised and very glad,” the Ventura County winner said.
Saturday night’s winner, who says he visits the resort every couple of months, is fresh off hitting another big jackpot for over a half-million dollars just a mere five weeks ago, at the slot machine located right next to this one.
“I came here to win it (the $1.3 million jackpot) after winning the last one ($556K jackpot),” he said.
When asked what he plans to do with his second large jackpot in as many months, he said he plans to share it with his kids and grandkids.
“I’m going to pay for my grandkids’ tuition,” he said. “My granddaughter, who turns 16 in September, is going to get a new car.”
The previous record jackpot at the Chumash Casino Resort was a $1,021,730 pull in 2014.
The Chumash Casino Resort also conducts its $100,000 Weekly Wheels Car + Free Play Giveaway, with the month of July featuring the adventure-seeking Jeep Wrangler 4XE on July 9, 16, 23 and 30.
On Sunday, Sept. 10, the resort will be holding its “Valley of Riches” quarterly giveaway, featuring $250,000 in cash and prizes and 31 winners, with a $50,000 cash grand prize drawing at 10 p.m. For more details, visit THE CLUB at Chumash or www.chumashcasino.com/valley-of-riches.
