A visitor to Las Vegas is now a millionaire after winning $11.8 million jackpot on a Megabucks machine at the Fremont Hotel and Casino.

Rodolfo T. hit the jackpot at approximately 6:30 p.m. Aug. 8 at the iconic Boyd Gaming entertainment property located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas in the center of the Fremont Street Experience.
