Tahoe pays off big for Florida woman

Tuesday, Sept. 28, 1999 | 11:43 a.m.

Margaretha Lee of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., said she had dropped about $40 in the slot before hitting the $1.6 million payoff.

She and her husband, Jim, were in Reno for their 40th wedding anniversary and went to Harvey's to redeem a coupon for a deck of cards they received two years ago when they competed in a bowling tournament in Reno.

The couple said they have their eyes on retirement and a big enough boat to take their children and grandchildren cruising.
