NJ woman turns $20 into $1.5 million at Atlantic City casino
ATLANTIC CITY — It's not easy to turn 20 bucks into nearly $1.5 million in just seconds.
But a lucky player at Ocean Casino Resort managed to do exactly that over the weekend.
The resort announced the jackpot hit on social media on Sunday.
The big winner was a woman from Morris County. She turned a $20 bet on Dollar Storm, a digital slot machine, into about $1.46 million.

The Dollar Storm slot includes a "wide-area progressive" feature. With it, the jackpot increases each time a bet is placed across a network of similar slots across the country.
