Woman Wins $10.7 Million Jackpot Playing Penny Slot Machine In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (CBS/AP) -- Wow... that's a lot of pennies!

A Hawaii woman has won more than $10 million playing the penny slots in Las Vegas.

The Wynn Las Vegas said the unidentified woman from Oahu won a total payout of $10,777,270.51 after betting $3 on a penny slot machine.

The jackpot happened about 9 p.m. Sunday at the Strip casino on an IGT Megabucks Wynn Wheel slots machine.

The woman wasn't really paid in pennies. Nowadays, slot machines no longer use coins. But imagine the sound of the coin drop if she had!
