$5 Bet Hits $11M Jackpot at Resorts World Las Vegas

Written by Published

A quick $5 spin just turned into a life-changing fortune for one very lucky player in Las Vegas. Yep—an $11 million jackpot from a single bet. Talk about beating the odds!

The jackpot hit came at Resorts World Las Vegas while the winner was playing IGT Megabucks’ Mega Vault. According to the casino, the player had only been on the machine for about 15 minutes before the massive win lit up the screen. Even better, their family happened to be right there to witness the moment.

Here are the standout details:

  • Winning bet: Just $5

  • Total jackpot: $11,143,660.87

  • Location: Resorts World Las Vegas

  • Fun fact: This is the first Megabucks jackpot ever hit at the resort

The winner hasn’t come forward publicly yet—they were simply in town visiting family when luck decided to pay a surprise visit.

Interestingly, this big win comes not long after Resorts World hosted a three-day MrBeast event back in April that didn’t exactly wow fans. Tickets were $1,000 each and attendees ended up demanding refunds. The resort later confirmed that everyone would receive their money back.

Resorts World hasn’t released further comments on the jackpot, but one thing’s certain: someone just had the best Vegas trip of their life.
