We all hope to visit a casino or racetrack and win big. The decision we make to place a bet, whether it be on a machine or a horse, is the determining factor on whether we will win our bet or lose. Hopefully we make the right decision, like Pamela Demers of Barrie.

Demers went to the Georgian Downs racetrack this past weekend and decided to play one of the slot machines. She chose to play the Quarter Millions progressive slot machine and managed to hit the jackpot. The jackpot was worth $384,369.43.

It’s ironic that Demers won because she did not go to the racetrack to gamble, at first. She planned on having the chicken wings and enjoying conversation with the staff, something Demers really enjoys doing. So essentially that was her first good decision!

Demers has stated she will use the money she earned from the progressive slot game to buy herself a new truck, pay off her existing debt and a new house.
