There were no clues about the winner's name or where he came from - and since this wasn't a criminal case, Taylor said his team couldn't rely on legal methods like subpoenas. The search took 20 days and hundreds of hours of combing through surveillance footage. Two days later, Treasure Island asked the Nevada Gaming Control Board to help identify the winner. When the machine was fixed two days later, the casino learned Taylor was owed a lot more than that: He hit the $229,368.52 US ($290,644.32 Cdn) progressive jackpot.
