antiTainment NEWS: J.Lo�s Mom Hits $2.4 Million Jackpot, Thanks Virgin Mary

Jennifer Lopez can now hit up her mother for a loan if her next film bombs. J.lo�s mother, Guadalupe Lopez, 58, won a $2.4 million jackpot on a slot machine in Atlantic City this past weekend. 

The senior Lopez was playing the slots at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on Saturday night and had a big payoff when her $3 bet hit. Her win represents the biggest slot payoff at Borgata since it opened last summer. 

Was it luck? Not so, says Lopez. She attributes her win to the Virgin Mary. "It was divine intervention," said the retired NYC kindergarten teacher.  

"It's all about family," Lopez added. "All I ever wanted is to help them and now I can."  Guess J.Lo isn�t sharing the wealth? 

The irony here is the fact that gambling was one of the reasons that J.Lo reportedly broke off her engagement to Ben Affleck. His love of big pots and card games supposedly didn�t sit well with J.Lo. 

Slow news day? You bet.
