Niagara Falls, N.Y. - An Amherst man had an extremely lucky night at the Seneca Niagara Casino on Saturday night.
John Stehlin turned $45 into a $885,264 payoff on the Wheel of Fortune MegaJackport slot machine.
Stehlin said he plays the same machine every time he visits Seneca Niagara. Asked what he plans to do with the money, Stehlin says he'll keep his current job as a marketing consultant and use his winnings to "pay off debt, invest and travel.”
This is the second time this year a MegaJackpot® prize has been awarded at Seneca Niagara Casino this year. In February, a Rochester man won $217,771 playing a Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
