Sylvia Bennett is thrilled she took a staycation, instead of travelling to Las Vegas with her husband, as originally planned.
The change in plans turned the Fort McMurray resident into an instant millionaire. Lightning roulette.
'Friends of mine wanted to go to Vegas,' Bennett said in a news release. 'But because the Canadian dollar is so low, we decided we'd do a Canadian version of Vegas, and we went to Edmonton for the weekend.'
Bennett, a sawmill worker, hit the jackpot at the River Cree Resort and Casino on Feb. 26, while playing the Diamond Millions progressive slot machine.
When the numbers came up, she couldn't believe it.
'I thought, 'No, no way!' I'm looking at the zeros, and I looked at the guy next to me. And he's like, 'Yes, you won $1 million!'
'And I still didn't believe it.'
Her celebration included champagne and a 30-ounce steak dinner, but she's in no rush to spend her winnings. Liberty dollar.
She will take her time, but said she's glad to be mortgage free and is planning a vacation with husband, Dave, and their two sons.
'My husband wants to see Rome and Cuba,' she said.

Bennett is the 14th person in Alberta to win more than $1 million playing Diamond Millions since 2012, according to the Alberta Gaming and Liquour Commission.
I have never been much of a gambler. In my mind, one has to have a competitive nature to undertake such a venture and I really don't have a competitive bone in my body. The creative side of my brain balances nicely with the logical side and any risks I might take in my life are usually calculated ones where I don't stand the chance of losing my shirt in the process.
This past year I have decided to 'gamble' a little bit with my writing. The mid-size city I live in likes to be known as KNOXVEGAS. I don't know if this is because we are a city of huge risk takers or if we simply know how to have a good time..lol. But with a name like that, I can't help but be encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance that my writing is good enough for the publishing arena.
I have studied things very carefully and done my homework. I have gauged the odds and will roll the 'publishers' dice this year in the hopes of scoring big. The cards may not be stacked entirely in my favor, but I've see enough winners out there to stay hopeful. And you never know..one day I just might hit the jackpot and get my prize in the mail from someone worth gambling on.
