NORTHWOOD, Iowa– A lucky visitor from Texas struck it big at Diamond Jo Casino & Hotel on Wednesday, October 1.
Jerry, a Minneapolis native who now enjoys retirement in south Texas, was traveling home with his wife after visiting family in Minnesota. The couple made a spontaneous stop at Diamond Jo—and walked away more than $130,000 richer.
Wednesday evening, Jerry hit a $132,293 jackpot with a $5 Royal Flush progressive bet, plus an additional $1 side wager on Galaxy Gaming’s Cajun Stud table game.
When asked how he plans to spend his winnings, Jerry laughed and said, “It’s going to be used to pay for the new windows I just ordered for our home, and we will have fun with whatever is left over.” He added, “We’ve always loved coming to Diamond Jo, and we’re going to visit other Boyd Gaming properties as we continue the drive back to Texas.”
