There’s a first time for everything. D.O. had never felt like he would win anything grand in his lifetime. But for two weeks, he kept telling his wife, ‘I’m going to win that Cadillac’—the grand prize in Cherokee Casino Sallisaw’s Rev Up the Romance promotion. The day of the drawing, D.O. sat down at his favorite machine, right next to the Star Rewards Club and said, “I’m going to sit right here until they call my name.” And they did. “When my name was called, my wife started punching me.” D.O. and his wife have been coming to Cherokee ever since moving to Sallisaw years ago. He enjoys having his morning coffee at Cherokee where “I know everyone and everyone knows me.”
