Someone won a chance to possibly purchase 3.2 million Mega Millions tickets.

Thomas Zanot of Las Vegas won a $6,443,401 progressive jackpot early Sunday after drawing a straight flush on pai gow poker at the Flamingo, the casino’s Twitter account posted.

The cards were eight, nine, 10, jack, queen and ace of spades with a joker. In pai gow, a joker can be used as an ace or to complete a straight and/or flush.

Zanot had been playing pai gow for about three hours before his big win, a spokesperson from Caesars Entertainment said Monday, adding that he hopes to use his winnings to buy a house.

The pai gow poker progressive links more than 40 Pai Gow tables across Caesars’ properties statewide in Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Laughlin and Reno.
