Man Wins $2.98 Million on Nickel Slots AP Posted: 2007-10-16 21:26:44 FORMAN, N.D. (Oct. 16) - Orville Erickson could hardly believe it but his wife, Dorothea, says she "just had a feeling" it might be a lucky weekend. Orville Erickson hit a $2.98 million jackpot on a nickel slot machine Saturday at the Dakota Magic Casino near Hankinson. Slots manager Darrell Mireau said it was the largest jackpot in the casino's 11-year history. "I still can't hardly believe it," Orville Erickson, 63, said Monday from the couple's farm a mile north of Forman.
Why, you might ask, is this story of such interest to me?
Well, those of you who have been following my blog for a while know that I love to play slot machines...especially the nickel ones!
This Sunday-Tuesday, the "Gambling Girls" will be at it again as we head to Philadelphia, Mississippi to try our luck at winning big!
We have such a great time getting away and entering the crazy world of ringing bells and clinking coins. Of course, I never take more than I am willing to lose and gamble very conservatively. We get our rooms and meals comped so the only expenditure is what we put in those machines. Such fun!
The last time that I was there I actually hit a "mini" jackpot on a nickel slot machine and came away with $1250.Can I do it again?
Stay tuned!!!! : )

I love this. I saw the headline on the internet this morning, but I didn't take time to read it. I probably wouldn't do very well. As someone said, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."
Have fun. Win big.
I forgot this from my previous comment. Is Philadelphia close to Tunica? What body of water is it close to?
Hi Beverly....Tunica is in Tennessee (near Memphis) several hours from Philadelphia...no bodies of water nearby that I know of...
Wish me luck!
