In a stunning stroke of luck that runs in the family, Jennifer Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, hit the jackpot at Atlantic City’s Borgata Casino, walking away with an impressive $2.4 million (two million euros) from a slots machine.
When the life-changing win occurred, Rodriguez maintained remarkable composure during her initial phone call to her famous daughter. Jennifer immediately sensed something was different just from her mother’s tone of voice. After Guadalupe revealed she had just won $2.4 million, she finally let her excitement show, “screaming her heart out like a mad woman” while Jennifer struggled to process the unexpected news.
The “Hustlers” star later admitted that unlike her mother, she doesn’t gamble herself and “is not good at it.” However, industry insiders have been whispering that it was actually Jennifer who won the massive jackpot but put it under her mother’s name for tax reasons. These rumors, while unconfirmed, have persisted among casino circles for years.

Meanwhile, in stark contrast to this heartwarming family fortune, Jennifer’s ex-husband Ben Affleck is facing serious allegations about his casino conduct. According to a viral TikTok video posted by former casino dealer J Nguyen, Affleck “has one of the worst reputations in the casino industry” across the country.
The former dealer didn’t hold back, claiming that casino employees “hate him” because “he’s cheap as (expletive)” and “rude to other players.” She alleged this behavior isn’t isolated to one location but spans multiple venues including “Harrah’s, in Atlantic City, in Commerce Casino, in California.”
Even more shocking, the TikToker accused Jennifer Lopez of encouraging Affleck’s alleged stinginess, claiming “she tells him not to tip.” With obvious sarcasm, she added, “I am so happy he ended up with JLo. You guys are perfect.”
The stark contrast between Rodriguez’s multi-million dollar casino windfall and Affleck’s alleged reputation in gambling establishments presents an ironic twist in the Lopez family saga, especially considering the rumors about who really won that jackpot.
