An out-of-town gambler goes to a Las Vegas casino to honor her mom.

She ended up winning a big bingo jackpot during a recent visit.

The woman went to Palace Station Hotel & Casino on June 9 and played the Jumbo Bingo Progressive, the casino said in a Facebook post.

After the 53rd ball was called, she hit the jackpot.

Now she’s $136,410 richer.

“She Loves Palace even more than before!” the casino said.

The woman’s mom used to love playing at the casino.

Palace Station Hotel & Casino is just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Another gambler also got lucky on a casino game in Vegas this week.

The gambler bet 88 cents on a Dancing Drums slot machine at Palms Casino Resort and won more than $28,000, McClatchy News reported.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
