A Colorado man is $434,514 richer, after he hit a five-cent International Game Technology's (IGT) Wheel of Fortune Megajackpot at Bronco Billy's Sports Bar & Casino in Cripple Creek. "We came here to eat and had an hour to wait so decided to play Wheel of Fortune," said Ralph Sisneros of Pueblo, Colo., who only put $2 in the machine before hitting the big jackpot. "Just before it hit we all decided to play the maximum coins and go for the gusto. I just picked this machine for no particular reason," he said. "When it hit we didn't even realize it. The man next to us told us we were big winners. We simply said 'praise the Lord'". The five-cent Wheel of Fortune game is instant pay so Sisneros collected the entire jackpot in one lump sum. He said he would use the money to pay some bills, take a vacation, maybe buy a new car and help out his family. All IGT Megajackpots are paid in annual installments upon verification except Elvis, The Addams Family, Slotopoly, the five-cent Wheel of Fortune and Party Time, which are paid in their entirety upon verification.
