LAS VEGAS, NV - A spur of the moment Las Vegas vacation has made millionaires of a Texas couple late afternoon February 18. MJ Morgan and his wife, Mamie, were playing Wheel of Fortune� Dollars at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino when MJ's machine lined up a $3,078,439 MegaJackpot.

On an earlier trip in December, MJ had won $500 at another machine in the same bank of Wheel of Fortune machines and was playing with hopes of doing it again. When the jackpot hit, MJ yelled to Mamie that he had won $2,000. Another player corrected him, saying that he had won $41,000. It took a third person to explain that he had won the $3 million progressive. They said that they'll share their good fortune with their three children and three grandchildren as well as tithing to their church. As for their plans, Mamie says that now she'll be able to realize a life-long dream of visiting Australia.
