SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A Springfield woman and her husband will have to decide whether to keep the family business going or retire after winning almost $1.2 million jackpot Wednesday night.

After 15 minutes playing the MegaBucks slot machine at Three Rivers Casino in Florence, the machine lit up and bells started ringing around her win: $1,199,337.06.

The woman and her husband chose to remain anonymous, the casino said.

The couple are regular visitors to the casino, having played there since it opened in 2004.

The couple has 60 days to decide whether to take the money in a lump sum or choose a 25-year payout.

This is the 4th jackpot over $1 million at the casino.
