IGT announced that its Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks slots games awarded two life-changing jackpots in September.

Lucky slots players won the following million-dollar-plus jackpots last month:
  • On September 25, a Wheel of Fortune slots player won $2,995,532 playing Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars at Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts in Yonkers, N.Y.
  • On September 26, a Megabucks slots player won $3,194,568 playing Megabucks Mega Vault at Twin Pine Casino & Hotel in Middletown, Calif.
    • This is the second mega-sized Megabucks jackpot at this casino after a lucky Megabucks slots player won a $8.4 million jackpot at Twin Pine Casino & Hotel in December 2010.

Megabucks, the world’s first WAP jackpot system, has been awarding life-changing jackpots since 1986. Wheel of Fortune slots have minted over 1,200 millionaires and awarded over $3.6 billion in jackpots since their launch in 1996.
