@SlotWinsByChico<\/a>, but rest assured Cosmo will be sending out a news release about the win within the next few days.<\/p>\nThe big win was on a Monopoly Millionaire machine, and the winning bet was a mere $4. (The player put a total of $40 in the machine.)<\/p>\n
According to our horrible math, that’s a 52,500,000% return on investment.<\/p>\n
Whenever a bigass jackpot hits, we get lots of questions about how much the player actually keeps.<\/p>\n
Right off the top, there’s 27% in federal taxes withheld.<\/p>\n
For a really big jackpot, like Megabucks, players get the option of receiving a lump sum or annuity. For a $2 million jackpot, the player probably took a lump sum, less the 27% deducted by The Man ($567,295), leaving the lucky bastard (a visitor from Alaska) about $1,533,798. Ish.<\/p>\nThat’s a lot of Holsteins burgers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt’s worth noting the Cosmopolitan doesn’t pay a big jackpot like this, the slot maker does. In this case, SG Gaming.<\/p>\n
If you hit a big jackpot, settle in, as the paperwork can sometimes take hours.<\/p>\n
The prospect of winning big is part of what makes Vegas so Vegas, and we’re pretty sure the lucky winner at Cosmopolitan is still in a state of shock.<\/p>\n
