It was a huge slot machine pull for an Ottawa woman.

Around 11:30 a.m. Monday, the woman was playing the Powerbucks slot machine at the Casino du Lac Leamy and won the jackpot.

A single pull netted the woman almost $1.8 million.

Her name has not been released.

Lottery officials say the winner claimed her prize immediately.

Powerbucks links online and an in-person casino slots, and connects Quebec players to those in British Columbia and Manitoba.
