snip-"A tourist from Atlanta is leaving Las Vegas with a staggering $10 million prize after playing a slot machine for less than five minutes.

The lucky guest, who has not been publicly named, was playing the IGT Megabucks Wolf Run Eclipse slot machine at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino on Tuesday morning, according to a press release from the hotel.

After only three minutes of playing with a $5 wager, the visitor won the multimillion-dollar jackpot of $10,292,912.32.

Las Vegas is built on unforgettable moments, and it doesn't get much more memorable than turning a $5 bet into more than $10 million,” Cami Christensen, President and General Manager of Westgate Las Vegas, said in a statement. “We're thrilled for our guest from Atlanta and love seeing these legendary stories happen at Westgate.”
