Oxnard man wins $168k at Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez Valley

SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, Calif. -- An Oxnard man won $168k at the Chumash Casino on Wednesday.

Robert A., from Oxnard, participated in the $1 side wager to qualify for the Multi-Progressive Jackpot.

The jackpot is awarded when a player makes the side wager and achieves a royal flush on Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker or Mississippi Stud games at the Chumash Casino Resort’s table games pit.

Robert got a royal flush while playing Ultimate Texas Hold'em at the Chumash Casino.

Robert has been going to the Chumash Casino since it was "a tent".

When asked how he’ll spend his winnings, he said, "I’m an old-school Volkswagen guy, and I like fixing up old cars, so maybe something like that. But, I guess it will be whatever my daughter wants.”
