A 53-year-old woman from Ontario has broken the Canadian record for the largest single casino slot jackpot win of all times by bagging almost $9-million at a Megabucks slot machine after depositing just $3. The astounded woman was only one hour into her play session at Casino Rama, just outside Toronto, when she heard bells and cheering. A crowd quickly amassed around her before she could fully understand the extent of her huge windfall. 

Anna Falco and her husband Franco are regular visitors to Casino Rama, which has had four Megabucks jackpot wins in the past. The casino’s CEO, Harry Oshanski said: “The Falcos are longtime customers of Casino Rama and we're delighted to be a part of this life changing event with them.”

Falco beat the previous record held by a Toronto businessman who won over $5-million in 2004 at a Niagra Falls casino while playing slots.
