THEN AT PARIS ... “I had just started playing a machine and had played about $25 when the woman next to me got up and walked away from the machine she was playing,” the woman said. “So I just reached over and played that machine and it hit. I started screaming and jumping around.” We’d be jumping, too, if our Wheel of Fortune machine hit for $1.6 million. The 63-year-old woman was with her daughters and plans to use some of the kala to build her dream home in the Philippines.
