83 Year Old Hits Biggest Jumbo Jackpot At Sunset Station

LAS VEGAS – The early bird catches the worm, and sometimes the biggest Station Casinos Jumbo Jackpot prize ever awarded. On Friday, August 18, just after 6 am, Henderson resident Margaret Krause made history at Sunset Station when she hit the Jumbo Jackpot for $149,394, the most won since the $150,000 Jumbo Jackpot Bonus began in May 2005.

More than 1,500 Boarding Pass and Amigo Club members all across the Valley reaped the benefits, receiving $79,050 in free slot play. The 83-year-old retired landscaper had only been playing for about ten minutes on a penny keno machine when the Jumbo Jackpot music sounded and bells went off. “I kept hitting the button and wondering why I didn’t get my $50 (in free slot play),” said Margaret. “The guy next to me said ‘lady, you won’! Imagine a great-grandmother hitting the jackpot!”

“Whether it’s cash, free slot play or cars, there are so many ways to win when you’re a Boarding Pass cardholder, you should never play without it,” said Staci Columbo, vice president of marketing and advertising. The Station Casinos Jumbo Jackpot Bonus has been awarded to 46 lucky winners over the past fifteen months and has paid out more than $6.1 million.
