$2.5 Million Progressive Jackpot Won at Thunder Valley Casino

Pamela Haro-Pearson, from Auburn, CA won $2.5 million on Thursday, playing a progressive jackpot game at the Thunder Valley Casino in Northern California. Haro-Pearson was drawn to the casino by the realization that the date was 05/05/05, a number she reportedly felt had mystical significance. She wanted to go to the nearby Thunder Valley Casino at five o’clock, but had to attend a family dinner. Instead, she went to the casino at 11pm. A short time after midnight, she won her incredible prize on the “wheel-of-fortune” machine.

Haro-Pearson was shocked, and immediately called her husband who was excited but subdued. The money will go towards a new car, and help Haro-Pearson continue her ongoing efforts to save cats and find them homes.

The prize is the third largest won at the Thunder Valley Casino since it opened in 2003.
