It was a very lucky day for one Texas tourist who hit the Megabucks at the Palms Hotel and Casino.

“I was playing the other machine before, played about $150 — then I walked around and there was absolutely no one playing them. So I walked around, stuck $20 in and the first pull,” said Connie Thiele.

She and her husband were playing at the Palms, hoping to earn enough points for a free lunch. Instead she won $21 million.

Thiele says she plans on paying off some bills and maybe buying a new car. She also is thinking of cutting back at work.
