Man won over $1.3 million at a casino, and the first call he made was to his mother: ‘Momma, we are out of the hood. We’re leaving tomorrow.’


 


Anthony W., an Indiana resident, won a record $1.37 million on a $5 blackjack bet at Michigan's FireKeepers Casino in September 2025, the largest payout in its history, as confirmed by casino records.

The emotional phone call to his mother—"Momma, we are out of the hood. We're leaving tomorrow"—captures a raw moment of generational escape from poverty, amplifying the video's viral appeal with 3.5 million views.

While heartwarming, sudden windfalls like this carry risks; research from the National Endowment for Financial Education shows about 70% of lottery winners declare bankruptcy within seven years due to overspending and inadequate financial advice.
