In an instant she was a multi-millionaire.

But for one woman who actually won $8.5 million on a jackpot, pinching herself was just the start of the pain she was about to experience. It happened in Washington when a woman from Oregon named Veronica Castillo hit an $8 million payout playing the Jurassic Riches slot machine. She was so excited, she even captured the win on her phone.

'I was in shock,' she told INSIDE EDITION of winning what she thought was millions. 'I was excited. I was in shock.'

  2. It would've made video gaming history; the largest slot machine jackpot win in casino history. But the multi million dollar jackpot turned out to be fool's gold. And when she went from nearly 43.

But those dreams were dashed when the staff at The Lucky Eagle Casino in Washington State told her there had been a malfunction with the slot machine.

Instead of the millions, she got a measly $80.35.

'They came to me and said: 'We have to shut off the machine.' Then I was asking: 'What about the prize?' They said: 'There is no prize.' It was horrible,' she told IE.

In a statement the casino released on the incident, it said: “This machine offers a maximum jackpot of $20,000. The win claimed by Ms. Castillo is not legally or practically possible.”

Borgata did not release the name of the winner. The New Jersey Lottery requires winners to come forward but Borgata has been mum on the identity since Saturday.

The lack of a name led to speculation from members of a Hawthorne Facebook group of who it could be.

'Well I was at the Borgata yesterday but sadly it was not me!' one person posted.

'Hope it’s my mom,' another wrote.
