“We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off our fifth year than by celebrating a jackpot of this size,” said Michael J. Facenda, president and general manager of Sky River Casino. “His story is an exciting reminder that you never know what might happen when you walk through the doors at Sky River Casino.”
The Lodi resident plans to use the winnings to pay off his vehicles. He also is considering using the money to start a small business or make a down payment on a home.
