The stars were aligned for Jo Ann Argyris, or more like the symbols that signify an incredible second $1 million jackpot.
Argyris hit her second million-dollar jackpot in less than a year Thursday night at the Railroad Pass casino.
"I saw the symbols, but it just didn't seem possible," said Argyris, a self-employed single mother of two and a grandmother of three from Boulder City.

Place your bets in Punta del Este
It was shortly after midnight on a warm summer night at the harbor in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and tanned young couples were streaming out of restaurants, wondering what to do next. Walk down the block to one of those well-appointed bars that would remain open until dawn? Or head over to a discotheque on the beach? And what about that all-night electronic music festival at the old airfield?
After losing some of its shine during the 1990s, Punta del Este, traditionally known as the Pearl of the Atlantic, has reinvented itself as South America's premier all-purpose vacation spot.
Baccarat between the favorites
If you were playing games of chance at the founding of Las Vegas a century ago, you would have. Along with poker, it was the game of choice -- and of chance -- in the Old West in the 19th century. It was still popular enough in 1905 to command a tiger's share of space in saloons such as the Double O and the Red Onion, along with Las Vegas' first hotel, the spanking new Golden Gate, when it opened in 1906.
That's a tiger's share -- not a lion's share. Tiger images adorned the ace of spades painted on the tables, and to play the game was to buck the tiger.
