The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that in 2015, two people hit the one million mark: One lucky traveler walked away with $1,056,878, while the other won $1,681,553.
With 40 million travelers passing through the airport every year, the odds aren't exactly in your favor, but they aren't stacked too high against you, either. Jackpots at the airport that reach the one million mark are actually not all that rare. Last week, one passenger-who has chosen not to reveal her identity-dropped a quarter into a Wheel of Fortune slot machine and turned a routine airport walkabout into her lucky day, when she won the jackpot of $933,080. While waiting for their flight, passengers at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas have the option to kill some time in a very Vegas way: They can try their luck at one of the 1,330 slot machines available throughout the airport's three terminals.
