LINCOLN -- A Rio Linda man won $116,342.03 when he hit the Thunder
Strike Jackpot at Thunder Valley Casino on July 8.
Charles Milanowski Sr. had been playing the Mermaid Nickel slot machine
for about 45 minutes when he won back much more than the approximately
$200 he had put into the machine.
Milanowski, an assistant fleet manager for a fire depot, said he is
going to use his winnings to help out his children.
The Thunder Strike Jackpot gives slot machine players a chance to win a
bonus jackpot of up to $150,000 if they use their Thunder Valley
players card. The jackpot can hit at any machine, any time, and it's
guaranteed to hit by the time the jackpot reaches $150,000. The prize
will be paid immediately, in cash, even if the player doesn't have a
winning combination on the machine. After a Thunder Strike Jackpot is
won, the meter is then reset to $50,000.
Since the Thunder Strike Jackpot promotion began on Dec. 15, Thunder
Valley has paid 16 jackpots totaling $1,646,744.
