What would you do if you won a huge jackpot at a Minnesota Casino? Most people say they'd be smart with the money—pay off their mortgage and debts first, and then maybe splurge on things like fancy vacations or expensive cars.

Now, imagine hitting that big jackpot just before Christmas! It would be the perfect timing to make the holiday amazing, with tons of gifts for the kids and maybe a tropical getaway between Christmas and New Year's. I’m not sure what these recent jackpot winners will do with their newfound money, but I’m sure they’ll enjoy a stress-free Christmas.
