College Student Wins Millions On Penny Slots

BOSTON (WBZ) ― From poor college student to a multi-millionaire. That's the story of one Bunker Hill College students after she hit the slot machines at Mohegan Sun with her family on Sunday.

According the casino, Shana Kelley, 21, of Somerville was playing a penny slot machine game when she won $3.5 million. "I did not realize I won millions, I thought it was thousands," Kelley told representatives from Mohegan Sun. "I started to shake, (my) mom was going nuts!"

Kelley had put $100 into the machine before hitting the jackpot.

Although she has not yet received her winnings, she told the Boston Globe she has already hired a lawyer and a financial planner.

So what does Kelley plan on spending part of her millions on? A baby blue Cadillac Escalade and a house, the paper reports.

And yes, she does plan on finishing school.
