Some people like to start their morning with a fresh cup of coffee. Some get lucky and start with a jackpot.

A player at The Cromwell hit a $878,682 mega jackpot early Thursday morning while playing Ultimate Texas Hold ’em.

The visitor played the game for two hands before winning.

The winner, who was visiting with his parents on vacation from Mexico, plans to put his winnings toward his university tuition.
