A CASINO has paid out twice on a $1 million prize after initially awarding it to the wrong Kevin Lewis.

When Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati announced that Kevin Lewis was the winner of a $1 million giveaway, local man Kevin L Lewis excitedly got up to claim his new fortune in front of a large, expectant crowd.

But in a rare move for a casino, it decided to give both Kevins $1 million as the gambling den admitted it should pay for its mistakes.
