ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Jennifer Lopez's mother won a $2.4 million jackpot while playing $1 slots in Atlantic City on Saturday night. Guadalupe Lopez, 58, of New York, was playing a Wheel of Fortune-themed slot machine at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa when she hit for $2,421,291.76 just before 8 p.m. Saturday, according to the casino.
Casino spokesman Michael Facenda denied knowing of any relationship between the jackpot winner and pop celebrity Jennifer Lopez. But Us Weekly and People magazine report in upcoming issues that Guadalupe Lopez is Jennifer's Lopez's mother.
Jennifer Lopez's publicist, Rob Shuter, declined comment Monday night.

Maybe they pulled a Hillary Cattle Future for the publicity?

Sounds a lot like folks who win the lottery. 85 years old and wins 95 million. Isn't life strange that way?
Show 'em my motto!

They could have gotten by a lot cheaper than 2.4Mill.
The press probably didn't report the mom saying "It was
about time I won something. I've bet 11 million dollars
of Jennie's money in this dump."

The press probably didn't report the mom saying "It was about time I won something. I've bet 11 million dollars of Jennie's money in this dump." I think that's right. I understand that J Lo's mom is big into gambling, and would hit the casinos with Ben Affleck, another big gambler -- no joke!
