Idaho woman’s last-minute decision to stop in Vegas pays off with massive jackpot win

An Idaho woman was traveling to Texas when she and her husband decided to make a stop in Las Vegas.

The couple told the Westgate Las Vegas casino it was a last-minute decision to change their route. But it paid off big time for Jennifer Hall from Chubbuck.

She hit the jackpot Tuesday of nearly $1.3 million.

Hall had sat down at a Wheel of Fortune casino game at 4:30 a.m. She was at the machine for fewer than four minutes when she realized she had won the jackpot.

She walked away with a total of $1,253,701.

The Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino is an off-the-Strip casino with 95,000 square feet of games and slots. The Wheel of Fortune game is a guest favorite, according to its website.
