A South Jersey teacher hit the jackpot on Thursday at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.

The Toms River resident, who wants to remain anonymous, won enough to buy his very own yellow brick road while playing the “Wizard of Oz” penny slot machine. He earned a whopping $4,963,819.15.

“I came rushing over and the guy was very excited,” said Tim Burke, the Borgata V.P. of slot operations.
