A woman who placed a meager bet at an Atlantic City casino over the weekend became an instant millionaire after hitting it big.

The woman from Monmouth County placed a $5 bet on a game of "Progressive Poker."

She must have had a little extra luck on her side because after hitting the mega jackpot she became $1.5 million richer instantly.

After winning big, the high roller decided to spread some holiday cheer by tipping table dealers at the resort more than $75,000.
