JUMBO JACKPOT STRIKES TWICE IN ONE DAY WITH MORE THAN $239,000 IN PRIZES

More than 3,500 Boarding Pass and Amigo Club Members Enjoy $177,900 in Free Slot Play LAS VEGAS - Lightning may never strike the same place twice, but the Station Casinos' Jumbo Jackpot does. On Wednesday, May 10, two Boarding Pass members received a mid-week surprise in the amount of a combined $239,000. Wallie Tidwell had been playing at Palace Station for only three minutes when she hit the Jumbo Jackpot at 10 AM for $139,197. Nearly six hours later at Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, Fernando Delatorre received his Jumbo Jackpot award of $100,717. Thanks to Wallie and Fernando, more than 3,500 Boarding Pass and Amigo Club members playing at the time the two jackpots hit received $177,900 in free slot play, some winning up to $100.

Wallie Tidwell asked her friend to find her husband when she won. "I was stunned, I'm still stunned," said Wallie, a resident of Las Vegas. "I never thought I would win that kind of money, I started crying-tears of joy though!"

Fernando Delatorre had just begun to play at a penny slot machine when he won. "I was really surprised," said Fernando, a retired Las Vegas resident. "My wife and I visit a Station Casinos property almost daily to have lunch. I really didn't know you could play with 18 cents and win like that."

"Wednesday's Jumbo Jackpot giveaways are perfect examples of why our Boarding Pass members love playing at Station Casinos," said Staci Columbo, vice president of marketing and advertising. "With two jackpots in one day it shows that you should always use your Boarding Pass when you are playing at any Station Casinos property."
