The largest jackpot that has ever been won in Las Vegas was $38.7 million dollars. The Excalibur Hotel and Casino had the hot machine in March of 2003. The jackpot winner was a 25 year old man that was visiting Las Vegas for the NCAA Basketball Tournament. He was lucky enough to turn his $100 dollar investment into an overwhelming $1.5 million dollars a year for the next 25 years.
The biggest winners to date are all winners of the huge progressive jackpot game called Megabucks. The Megabucks jackpot starts at $7 million dollars and continues to grow until there is a winner. Megabucks has a network of slot machines in over 150 locations throughout Nevada. More players adds up to a higher jackpot.
In 2010 At the age of 92 Elmer Sherwin won the Megabucks jackpot for the second time. Twenty one years after his first win, Mr. Sherwin hit the Megabucks jackpot again for $21 million. His first win was for $4.6 million and he seemed content with that.
In 1989 Elmer Sherwin hit the jackpot only nine hours after The Mirage, a Las Vegas strip hotel-casino opened for business. He played a slot machine 90 minutes before coming up the big winner.
Sherwin spent $80 of his own money, then borrowed $20 more from former wife, Florence, to continue playing, a Mirage spokesman said.
Following Sherwin's win, IGT for the first time reset its Megabucks jackpot at $10 million, up $3 million from its previous starting point. The game's current record jackpot is more than $38.7 million, won at Excalibur in March 2003.
The Planet Nibiru, which conspiracy theorists say is a planet swinging in from the outskirts of our solar system that is going to crash into Earth and wipe out humanity in 2012 — or, in some opinions, 2011 — shows that an astonishing number of people "are watching YouTube videos and visiting slick websites with nothing in their skeptical toolkit," in the words of David Morrison, a planetary astronomer at NASA Ames Research Center and senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
Morrison estimates that there are 2 million websites discussing the impending Nibiru-Earth collision. He receives, on average, five email inquiries about Nibiru every day.

apparently its a planet that orbits through the solar system every 3,600 years
