Allen Kessler, also known as “The Chainsaw,” was the lucky jackpot winner. He had bet $125.
I can’t believe that,” he was heard to say on a video after winning the money. “Oh my God… Did that really happen… I’ve been sitting here 12 hours.”
The amount won on the machine was just under $1,210,108.
There were cheers and applause from nearby players.

Omg this just f***n’ happened!,” he added in another post announcing the win.

“I have been very lucky at Thunder Valley over the years, and I love coming here,” Kessler said in a statement.
