The idea of returning to Las Vegas for a Valentine's Day anniversary turned out to be a $4.2 million winner for a California man.
Carlos Delgadillo hit a slot jackpot Sunday night playing a Wheel of Fortune dollar machine at the Mandalay Bay resort.
Delgadillo, a 42-year-old employee of a rental car company, called the win "an early Valentine's present."
Delgadillo and his wife, Debbie, were married in Las Vegas on Valentine's Day last year. The two had planned the trip to Las Vegas to celebrate their anniversary.
Delgadillo received a check for $211,000, the first of 20 annual installments paid by International Game Technology.
