The Best Investment of the Day

This guy's hunch was better than Cap'n Bob's dream.

LasVegasNOW.com | News for Las Vegas, Nevada - Nevada Man Makes Penny Jackpot History: "A Nevada resident became a multi-millionaire Wednesday after his penny investment in Penny Megabucks(R) paid off in spades at the Pahrump Nugget Casino.

The payout was $18,799,414, the largest penny slot jackpot in history.

'On my way over to the casino this morning,' said the anonymous 66-year-old man, 'I actually thought about playing Penny Megabucks(R). I don't know why because I normally play video poker. So after rolling several practice games, I went to have lunch and on the way back to the lanes, I stopped to play Penny Megabucks(R).

'I put in $100 and after playing $44, I saw five eagles line up and thought I had won about $3,000,' he added. 'Then I looked up, and the large jackpot on top of the machine had switched from $18 million to $10 million. Then I knew I had won something big.'

The winner said he will pay off some bills and then take his wife on a long trip to Australia."
