ISLANDIA, N.Y. (PIX11) — A lucky Suffolk County local won $2.29 million at Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel on Tuesday, casino officials said.

The winner, who wants to remain anonymous, hit the $2,294,411.78 jackpot on their fourth spin on the Wheel of Fortune machine.

“The anticipation and excitement of a multi-million-dollar winner at Jake’s 58 had been building since the Wheel of Fortune reached the $2 million mark earlier this year,” said Phil Boyle the president and CEO of Suffolk OTB.

“It was just a matter of time and good luck, and we could not be happier for our player,” said Boyle.
