The Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho awarded the largest casino payout in its history on Friday.

A longtime patron, who wished to remain anonymous, won $1.3 million on a slot machine at the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel. The woman hopes to put the money to good use.

"I won't want this kind of money just sitting there to be spent," the patron said in a press release. "I want a good portion of it to go somewhere where it will do some good."

Bob Bostwick, a spokesperson for the tribe, said the payout was also the largest in the region. It's the casino's second million-dollar jackpot, The Coeur d'Alene Press reported.
