$50,000 Jackpot Hit at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.-- Saratoga Gaming and Raceway awarded an individual jackpot payment of $50,000 to Mr. Joe Hansbury of Troy, NY. The lucky winner hit the $50,000 jackpot by getting a red, white and blue star in a row on a $5 Stars & Stripes video gaming machine (VGM). This is the largest jackpot, breaking a previous amount of $40,000 that was also paid out at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway, any of the three operational gaming facilities in New York State has awarded since the inception of video gaming. "I didn't know that I hit it at first," said Hansbury. "I thought that it was only $5,000, not $50,000!" A player who had never won a large individual jackpot prior to Saturday, Hansbury also won a $5,525 jackpot less than two hours before the $50,000 jackpot. Overwhelmed with all the excitement and shock of the total amount of winnings, he currently has no plans for the money. "I don't know, maybe I'll buy a new car," Hansbury said. Saratoga Gaming and Raceway is described as a "fun place" by Hansbury. He and his wife enjoy the atmosphere, the customer service they receive, and they also like to watch the horses. |
