Jennifer Lopez's mother, a retired New York kindergarten teacher, scooped up a $2.4 million jackpot playing slot machines in Atlantic City.

Guadalupe Lopez, 58, hit it big off a $3 bet on a "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine at the swanky Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on Saturday night, a representative of her singer/actress daughter confirmed on Tuesday.

The haul represented a record slots payout at the Borgata, which opened last July.

The Atlantic City record slot machine prize is $8.5 million, collected at the former Bally's Grand in 1994, now the Atlantic City Hilton, according to International Gaming Technology.

A record $39.7 million jackpot was taken last year at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas
