Three players hit six-figure jackpots in recent days on a slot machine and table games in Las Vegas.

Last week, a woman from Texas playing a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at McCarran International Airport won just over $300,000, according to the airport.

The woman, identified only by her first name on McCarran social media posts, was playing in the airport’s B concourse.

On Sunday, Randall Needens made a straight flush —the seven through jack of hearts —to win nearly $233,000 while playing Pai Gow Poker at Palace Station.

Needens was visiting the Station Casinos property from Colorado.

On Saturday, a couple from Arizona won just over $200,000 with a royal flush while playing Three Card Poker on the Strip.

The couple, in Las Vegas to celebrate a birthday, were playing at Planet Hollywood.

They plan to use the money to renovate their home and buy a new truck, according to a statement from Caesars Entertainment.
