"I was just about to leave and decided to put another hundred-dollar bill in there," Munoz said on May 19. "Then I hit the Wheel of Fortune, the big one. I'm really excited and can't believe it – I'm still pinching myself. I have no words."
Munoz, a husband and father, has been a cardholder at the casino since last year.
