A 57-year-old man, whose name was not released, hit the Megajackpot for $12.2 million at the Bellagio during the early morning hours Monday, according to International Game Technology, maker of the Megabucks game.The winner and his wife, who was sitting next to him playing her own Megabucks slot at the time, called their daughter immediately and took the first flight to Los Angeles to celebrate with family.
The winner is an investor originally from South Korea and visits Las Vegas about three times a year, IGT said.A 63-year-old retired woman won $1.6 million playing Wheel of Fortune Saturday night at Paris Las Vegas. The woman, who also wished to remain anonymous, was with her daughters for a family holiday trip, IGT said.
“I had just started playing a machine and had played about $25 when the woman next to me got up and walked away from the machine she was playing,” the woman said. “So I just reached over and played that machine and it hit. I started screaming and jumping around.”
The woman said she and her family are building their dream home in the Philippines and the jackpot will allow them to upgrade and move in sooner than expected

Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend

[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_00.jpg]


God, do we have to do this after time? “Lindsay is definitely starting to turn to him when things get bad.” Because they’ve been dating for what? A week? And Adam Senn has already become a bit player in Lindsay’s drama. Yeah, I bet he lasts.

By the way, Dina Lohan wants everyone to know that after Lindsay’s whirlwind trip to India - in which she took credit for saving the lives of 40 children and was called out for her lies - Lindsay is now “a changed woman.” Dina told Page Six that Lindsay was “humbled and moved” by the trip and that “Lindsay definitely wants to give more back. We are now planning a trip to help the children of Guatemala — which will be filmed by Oprah’s network.” For f-ck’s sake. Not Central America! That’s where the drugs come from!

[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_01.jpg]


Just hours after the hearing - it was reported that Dina is demanding $40,000 in child support, while Michael claimed Sunday that it’s only $15,000 - spies say Lindsay showed up at her sister Ali’s 16th birthday party at Abe & Arthur’s with Senn, whom we reported she was dating on Dec. 10.

And while her, err, doting parents can’t agree on much, they both seem to think that Adam is a winner.

“Dina really likes him,” the source says. “She thinks he is ‘good for her.’”

Michael wasn’t on the guest list for Ali’s fete, but he too seemed pleased with Adam when asked about Linds’ new man Sunday.


[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_03.jpg]

“If he’s a good guy and he has no addictions, and he’s a good influence on her, then God bless him. It’s a good thing,” he told us.

And although Michael says he would have liked to meet the former “City” star at the party, he admits he’s not shocked he wasn’t invited. “I’m not surprised I wasn’t welcome at Ali’s dinner,” he says. “In light of what’s going on between Dina and I, and being so public with the things I’ve said in regards to Lindsay’s well-being, I can understand how Lindsay and the kids would be upset and not want me there.”

Indeed, Lindsay has publicly dismissed her dead-beat-dad, but an insider claims that his absence is still hard on the troubled starlet.

“Everything that’s gone on between Lindsay and her dad has really taken a toll on her,” the source confides, adding that “Adam is the one really positive thing going on in her life.”

The snitch also claims that Senn and Lohan were texting and calling each other over the holiday weekend - and are certainly acting more serious than “just friends,” which LiLo has claimed via her Twitter page.
