Robert Denvers is a resident of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and has recently won a huge prize of over 2 million dollars playing at a 50 cent machine in the Tropicana Casino of Atlantic City, New Jersey. This is specially unique and amazing since Denvers, who is partly Irish, has become millionaire on St. Patrick’s Day, an Irish festivity.

According to Denvers, a 51-year-old store employee, he had gambled $20 in a slot machine of “The Wheel of Fortune” to get this super prize. When the three figures appeared, he thought he had won $2,400. However the prize went up to $2,400,506.47!

Katie Dougherty, a Casino spokeswoman said this has been the biggest prize won at this casino since the beginning of 2006. Denvers said he has been going to this casino for eight years, but this was the first one after a year and a half. Now he has to decide whether he wants to get the prize all at once or he prefers to get annual payments of $120,000.
