ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- An 84-year-old grandmother has hit a gigantic slot machine jackpot in Atlantic City. Josephine Crawford spent 10 minutes and $40 playing a megabucks nickel slot machine at Harrah's Atlantic City when she hit for $10 million on Tuesday."My daughter was playing next to me and I said, 'who is going to win $10 million on nickels?'" Crawford told NBC 10's Ted Greenberg.
She said she was losing at first and then decided to spend another $20. The next thing, Crawford said, she hit it big."I didn’t even know I won, " Crawford said. "Then someone from the casino came down and said I won $10 million."At first, Crawford though the spokesperson was kidding.Then she was told it was the biggest slot jackpot in city history. The Galloway Township resident hasn't decided whether to take a lump sum or a 25-year annuity. Crawford says she'll spend the money on her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
