SYLMAR WOMAN WINS $100K GRAND PRIZE AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT’S ‘VALLEY OF RICHES’ GIVEAWAY
SANTA YNEZ, CA – June 10, 2024 – A Sylmar woman took home the top prize Sunday night at the Chumash Casino Resort’s “Valley of Riches $275,000 Cash + Prizes Giveaway” – $100,000 in cash.
The winner, a guest known as Alejandra T., was sitting at a slot machine when she heard her name drawn at 10 p.m. to collect the evening’s grand prize. Her first thought was that it must be a different Alejandra.
“I can’t explain it – I said, ‘I’m dreaming,’” Alejandra said. “I said, ‘It’s going to be somebody else, not me.’ I was thinking many things, but now I think it’s real.”
To Alejandra’s shock, she was not dreaming. She took home the largest haul of the giveaway, which saw 100 winners on Sunday.
“I have four kids,” Alejandra said. “I’m going to split it with my kids. It’s a big, big, big amount. A big win. I feel like I’m lost right now, but I’m very happy.”
Alejandra says she has been a frequent guest of the Chumash Casino Resort for many years.
“I thank Chumash and all the employees,” Alejandra said. “Everything is wonderful every time I come. I come because I have a good time. I like to stay here. It feels like home.”
The “Valley of Riches” themed giveaway included $275,000 in cash and prizes and 100 winners with exciting drawings throughout the day that began at noon, leading up to the grand-prize drawing at 10 p.m. for $100,000 in cash. Guests accumulated entries for the drawings over the past three months by using their player’s club card whenever they played slots or table games on the casino floor.
The Chumash Casino Resort’s next themed giveaway will be called “Accelerate Your Escape,” featuring a chance to win one of two Chevy Corvette Stingrays, along with drawings for a portion of $50,000 in Slot Free Play. The “Accelerate Your Escape” grand-prize drawing will be held at 10 p.m. on Sunday, September 15.
