Five sisters are nearly $5 million richer after hitting the Megabucks slot machine progressive jackpot at the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino in Ontario Canada this last weekend. The five-some were having a ladies night out when at 11:01 p.m., Joanne McLeod hit the elusive, top-winning symbol combination. The exact payout was for $4,956,920, which all five women say they will equally split and intend to put to great use, which will include building a larger house for their niece who is raising six children.

One sister, Susan Potts, said she is going to pay off all of her bills and help her daughter who is working three jobs. Kim Potts said she is going to buy her husband the dream car he always wanted. Sharing in the excitement was a regular patron at Great Blue Heron who witnessed the win, not to mention the management of Great Blue Heron Casino itself. This was the largest jackpot ever won there, dwarfing the previous record of $2,056,353. The third largest Megabucks jackpot ever won in Ontario, this was the third time the jackpot was hit at Great Blue Heron Casino.

Megabucks is a wide area progressive slot machine, which is networked at many casinos throughout the world. This particular Megabucks jackpot is networked between all commercial and charity casino gambling destinations in Ontario. Although not quite as large as the Nevada Megabucks slot, which starts off at a minimum jackpot of $7 million, this Megabucks is very capable of making millionaires, as this recent win certainly proves.

The Great Blue Heron Casino, which is owned and operated by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, is one of the smallest First Nations in Canada. A thriving aboriginal community, the Mississauga Nation (a branch of the Ojibway of the Three fire Confederacy) is the closest First Nation to Toronto, which amounts to a steady stream of traffic to the popular Great Blue Heron Casino. And with another multi-million jackpot to their credit, its popularity is sure to grow even more.
