Jennifer Lopez is one of the most important celebrities in the world, but her mother has become famous overnight also. As it turns out, luck in the Lopez family is a luxury they can also brag about, with her mother as the main example of that. Her name is Guadalupe Rodriguez, she made her most important investment back in 2004 at Atlantic City’s Borgata Casino.
Rodriguez won an impressive $2.4 million in the slot machines of all places, which is one of the main past times of Americans who get to these spots to gamble. Jennifer herself revealed this during ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon in 2015, she never considered herself a gambler but her mother sure is. Although Jennifer wasn’t with her mother on that day, she did get a call from an extremely happy winner that evening.
According to J-Lo, her mother sounded quite relaxed when it all happened as she was on the phone. She knew something had happened as soon as she picked up the phone simply by hearing the tone of her voice. That’s when she told her daughter she just won $2.4 million.
The star’s mother addressed her revelation.
