The 23-year veteran of an embroidery graphics company said she's been visiting Choctaw Durant for more than 10 years and it's not her first win, but it is the biggest.
"I still can't believe it. I can't believe it because of how much it is. I know it's real because I won $1 million tonight," Guia said. "I won $41,000 in 2017."
The casino says it's giving away $6.6 million during June, July and August.
"Nothing compares to creating these life-changing moments for our guests, and we're looking forward to doing it one more time," said Jeff Penz the Senior Director of Gaming & Hospitality at Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant.
