I can't even imagine how exciting it would be to win a huge jackpot at a casino. When the slot machine's lights start flashing or the dealer announces the winning hand, my heart would race with disbelief and joy. That rush of adrenaline would be like nothing else.

Two weeks ago, we reported on the gambling grandma who won a massive amount of money at Diamond Jo Casino in Iowa and now we're learning about another bigger winner. One lucky Minnesotan just hit it big at that same casino.
