Texas woman hits $1.34M jackpot at Harveys Lake Tahoe

STATELINE, Nev. - There was an exciting end to the Presidents’ Day Weekend for Dorothy Boone of Temple, Texas as she hit the Three Card Poker progressive jackpot at Harveys Lake Tahoe on the night of Monday, Feb. 17, resulting in a win of $1,340,518.

Dorothy had been playing for approximately one hour when she hit the progressive jackpot with a Royal Flush in Spades on the 3 Card Poker table at Harveys. It was a first time Lake Tahoe visit for Dorothy and her husband, which almost didn’t happen as their group had originally planned to visit Laughlin, Nevada.

Dorothy talked about using the money to “buy a new house” and take her grandkids to Disney World or Disneyland. Her reaction when the big jackpot hit was, “Huh… Really?!” and advised her friends and other players to always, “keep the faith.”
