It was pretty much that easy for one unidentified patron at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas two weeks ago, when that player sat down to try their luck on Wheel of Fortune Diamond Spins 2X Wilds.
On a $7 spin, the lucky winner netted themselves over a million dollars — $1,106,270.82, to be exact, according to a Las Vegas Review-Journal report, courtesy of a spokesperson for International Game Technology, the game’s manufacturer.

It isn't the first time a bettor at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas hit a million dollar jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune machine in the past year. In September, a player won $1,520,751.38 on Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Triple Gold machine.
A million bucks, clearly a lot better than Lose A Turn.
