jackpot
Slot machine goal
A jackpot is a large cash prize, especially the top prize in a lottery, slot machine, or other gambling game.
The term often implies an accumulating pot that grows until someone wins it.
To hit the jackpot means to win such a prize, but figuratively it extends to any stroke of exceptional luck or success: We hit the jackpot with this apartment—great location and cheap rent.
