Ninety-year-old Florence Carey had been pouring money into casino gambling in the form of slot machines for years, to the tune of thousands of dollars in losses. But that all changed last week when Carey hit a $459,400 jackpot at the Northern Lights Casino in Prince Albert, Canada.  She said she was shocked when the bells started ringing.

“It was exciting, but I still can’t believe it,” said Carey, “…the bells were ringing and ringing…That tired me out a lot. I didn’t sleep at all that night, and I had to keep taking nitro because my heart is very weak.”

Carey used to travel to the United States to gamble in casinos but she hasn’t been able to lately because of health problems that have included two strokes, a heart attack, cancer and diabetes. So she confined her casino gambling to Prince Albert, which appears to have been a winning strategy.

The jackpot will allow her to continue her gambling lifestyle. “I’m going to keep $100,000 because I want to come back to the casino,” said Carey.

She said the rest of her winnings will be divided between her 10 children and her church, St. Joseph’s.
