The most gambling I do is the occasional slot game when I see a show at Bet Parx or in AC and a little sports betting during football season.

I mean, you can't win if you don't play.

Sometimes gambling can really pay off, and that's exactly what happened to one New Jersey resident who managed to turn a five-dollar bet into nearly one million dollars this past week.

It's actually pretty amazing.

The winner, who chose to stay anonymous, placed a five-dollar bet at the Hard Rock in AC while playing three-card poker.

Three-card poker is just a variation of traditional poker that's played at one of those big casino tables.

The player, according to NJ.com won with the following hand:

This handled the player to a massive payout.

In total, they took home just shy of one million dollars, $943,355 to be exact.

The most I've ever won at a Casino was five bucks playing a penny slot, and even with that I felt pretty lucky, could you imagine turning five bucks into nearly a million?

NJ.com reports that this jackpot was one of the biggest on record to be paid out at the Hard Rock for three-card poker.
