A Wisconsin woman is celebrating her birthday in style after winning almost $1.2 million Thursday at the Silver Star Casino.

Elnora G. of Milwaukee was playing the Wizard of Oz slot machine when it sounded a win. She said the man next to her explained that she hit the 'progressive'.

Elnora says her birthday was last week and she decided to take a trip with her family to celebrate. She says it's the best birthday present, ever.
