ATLANTIC CITY — It's not easy to turn 20 bucks into nearly $1.5 million in just seconds.

But a lucky player at Ocean Casino Resort managed to do exactly that over the weekend.

The resort announced the jackpot hit on social media on Sunday. The prize was won at around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

The big winner was a woman from Morris County. She turned a $20 bet on Dollar Storm, a digital slot machine, into about $1.46 million.

"The jackpot marks one of the most significant payouts in the casino's history," a spokesperson for Ocean said.

The Dollar Storm slot includes a "wide-area progressive" feature. With it, the jackpot increases each time a bet is placed across a network of similar slots across the country.
