HARRIS -- A doctor from Dickinson County walked away from the Island Resort and Casino last night with over $1.5 million.
Doctor James Batti WAS trolling the casino, playing penny slots, when he decided to take a shot on a five dollar Wheel of Fortune game.
To his astonishment, the winning combination of symbols appeared on the pay line. Batti said he still can't believe he won and that it will take some time for it to sink in.
"Just seemed surreal," said Botti. "Like I wasn't really there, it wasn't really real, like you're in a dream or something. That's kind of what it felt like."
He said he hasn't had time to consider yet what he will do with the money. When asked if he plans to retire, he said that he liked his job and is happy where he is.
