PRIOR LAKE - On Monday night at 6:14, the bells sounded on Mystic Lake’s Casino's Wild Cherry progressive slot, heralding a million-dollar jackpot winner.
Rebecca Berry, 80, of Honolulu, was the big winner of $1,373,825.63. Berry was in the area visiting her daughter and stopped at Mystic Lake to try her luck, the Prior Lake casino said in a news release.
“Whenever I visit, I love to come to Mystic Lake,” said Berry. Berry was presented with her winnings by Glynn Crooks, Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota vice chairman and Steve Florez, chairman tribal Gaming Enterprise Board of Directors.
The tribe said that four winners have become instant millionaires playing the Wild Cherry progressive. The largest payout to date was $2.8 million. The jackpot was reset to $561,513.35.

Back to page topAccording to Senior U.S. District Judge Samuel King's office, where Berry has worked as a secretary for 50 years, Berry suffered an "unexpected medical emergency" hours after winning.
