The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota awarded a $1 million jackpot to a lucky woman on Saturday.

Vickie M. won the money on a slot machine at the Prairie Wind Casino. She was shocked at her big prize of $1,026,647 -- she's been gambling at the facility ever since it opened.

“It took a minute for it to click in my brain, as I wasn’t really sure what I was seeing on the screen," Vickie told KCSR.

The tribe has awarded two other $1 million jackpots on the last two years. Gordon "Bud" Thompson won $1,037,375 in February 2013 and Sandra Marrs won $1,154,123 in April 2013.
