Million Dollar Mix-Up Ends Well: Two Kevins Each Win $1M

As the , "Saturday was a good night to be Kevin Lewis."

When the announcement was made at that Kevin Lewis had won $1 million in a prize drawing, a lucky guy was presented with one of those big ceremonial checks.

Then another Kevin Lewis came forward — and a more careful check of the entries showed that it was Kevin Lewis No. 2 who should have been given the windfall, not Kevin Lewis No. 1.

The casino did right by them both.

"This was our blunder," said in a release. "So, consistent with our commitment to do the right thing for our guests, Horseshoe awarded a $1 million dollar prize to each of the men."

There's another $1 million drawing at the casino on Sept. 1, . If you're a Kevin Lewis, or know someone who is, you might want to be there.
