Mohegan Sun Players Score $1.3M in Weekend Jackpots

Double Jackpot Magic: Mohegan Sun Visitors Make More than $1.3 Million in Winnings

What a weekend it was at Mohegan Sun, where two lucky players just made it big to the tune of more than $1.3 million in free money over the course of several slot machine spins and blackjack hands. 

The next big thing in the Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky turned out to be a Whitney Houston-themed slot machine that one player from the local area hit with a $50 bet, resulting in a Grand Progressive jackpot of $659,570.73.

A different player, who, by way of a $5 side bet at a blackjack table, suddenly got access to the Super 4 Royal Flush Progressive jackpot that gave him the cash of $669,412. It is like, why do people visiting casinos get fooled into thinking that they should skip the optional side bets while waiting to hear riveting stories like this one?

The fun doesn’t just stay at the casino. The Connecticut Lottery announced in a totally different report that a resident who had the winning ticket for a $2.2 million prize cashed it in three months after the drawing. The ticket was initially sold at Mack’s Wine & Liquor in Manchester. The store itself received a $10,000 bonus just because it was the winning location.

With weekend payouts exceeding the million-dollar mark, Mohegan Sun is back in the headlines, but this time, it’s not the news that the casino is one of the top gaming destinations in the US that it wants to make known. The reason is simple: jackpots going public with rare and very rich slot and table games are allowing these two plus million prizes to be talked about almost instantly in many places, not only among the usual visitors but also among those who came for the first time.
