MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - This is the way you want to start a new year.

A Milwaukee man has won $2.7 million by hitting a jackpot at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino. The winner says he wants to remain anonymous.

He hit on a $5 slot machine last Thursday. That jackpot is the biggest handed out in the Milwaukee casino's 20-year run.

Last year, another Milwaukee resident won just over $2 million on a slot machine at the casino.
