A casino player at the Sycuan Casino Resort has had quite a bit of luck turning their $10 bet placed in mid-February into a six-figure payday.

The happy event was only highlighted by the casino in a recent press release, with the players apparently scooping up the win while playing the Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand slot machine.

The exact amount of the win was an eye-watering $597,000, making it one of the largest prizes hit at the property. Still, the person would have to contribute about $262,000 in tax money to California, which significantly reduces the final amount won from the jackpot machine, but it is still an impressive event altogether.

This is not the only time a big-time winner story has come out of the state, with someone winning a Super Lotto Plus ticket, fetching a $32-million prize in the process.
