Michigan Man Wins $7.2M Jackpot at Mississippi Casino

If you're looking for a new BFF, Tyler Morris would be a great choice. The Montague, Michigan man won $7,217,175.15 playing the penny slots at the Palace Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi Friday. He also lost a friend recently.

Morris visited the casino after attending a buddy's funeral. He told the Sun Herald that he typically plays craps, but as a way of honoring his deceased friend who usually played the penny slots, he decided to drop a few bucks into the one-armed bandit.

Tyler said he felt that his friend was watching over him, and blessed him with a big win.
