Megabucks Slot Hits for $11.1 Million at Resorts World

As our fellow youths say, “First!” They also yell “6-7” quite a bit, but we’re mostly focusing on the “first” thing because we broke this story and breaking news is dangerously close to having a life, so there it is.

We were the first to share Megabucks hit today for $11,143,660.87 on Nov. 26, 2025.

Now, we know where: Resorts World. The Las Vegas dream lives.

This should be a real thing. Instead, it lives firmly in the realm of satire, legally protected self-expression under the First Amendment.

After we shared Megabucks hit, we asked for a photo of the win (there’s always a photo of a win) and the Internet answered.

Megabucks, of course, is the beloved WAP (wide area progressive) with life-changing jackpots.

Megabucks jackpots are paid by the slot manufacturer (IGT), not the casino.

They aren’t all upside, of course. First, the IRS takes a big bite out of big jackpots. After the government gets its hands on an $11.1 million jackpot, the player ends up with $6.6 million or so (if they take the lump sum, as most winners do).

Second, people who win giant jackpots rarely tip. They have a lot of excuses, but all of them are lame.

Once a Megabucks progressive hits, it resets to $10 million.

You can keep an eye on Megabucks (and other IGT WAPs like Wheel of Fortune) jackpots on the IGT site.

Keep playing, keep dreaming, keep tipping.
