What happened five minutes after he had started playing Monopoly Millionaire wasn&#8217;t exactly planned. The unnamed individual hit the jackpot worth over <strong>$1 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The news was quickly picked up by various social media after\nPlaza Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas hurried up to share the latest winner on\nsocial media. Facebook and Twitter users cheered \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/10\/27\/us\/hawaiians-find-an-unlikely-eden-in-las-vegas.html?mtrref=www.google.com&amp;gwh=7B5C0C23DE0B9BD5E83F116CB1D940D0&amp;gwt=pay\">it\nwas a holiday after all<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Many took turns to crack jokes about the achievement and\nquite a few people reshared the news as if to continue the good vibe occasioned\nby St Patrick&#8217;s Day, an Irish holiday that has slowly been eating its way into\nthe mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The United States is not the sole country to now pay\nattention to St Patrick&#8217;s Day, but for Las Vegas, this holiday is an opportunity\nto really get customers worked up and ready to play. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.caesars.com\/las-vegas\/las-vegas-restaurant\/celebrate-st-patricks-day-in-las-vegas-2019\/\">Caesars\nLas Vegas<\/a> pulled off quite the little show with Leprechauns and tall ladies\nall over Las Vegas and at the casino. It was what Hemingway would have called\n&#8220;a moveable feast&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Do you ever play penny slots?
