Man hits jackpot
Sunday, April 25, 1999 | 9:17 a.m.
Paul Maita, a computer programmer for a Sacramento car dealership, landed the payoff on a Nickels Deluxe MegaJackpot machine.
Despite the jackpot, Maita plans to return to work as usual Monday morning.
Asked what he would do with his winnings, he replied, "Right now I have no idea. I'm numb."
Maita said he rarely plays nickel slots and only played one to help conserve $700 in winnings from a dollar slot while waiting for a friend to leave.
