Jennifer Lopez reveals her mum is a 'huge gambler' who won millions on pokies

Jennifer Lopez has revealed that her mum Guadalupe Rodriguez is such a "huge gambler" that she once won US$2.4 million on slot machines in Atlantic City.

See the Boy Next Door singer telling Jimmy Fallon all about her mum's penchant for a punt in the clip above.

Jen added that she's not a gambler herself, but she still spent her New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, of all places.

"I did work on New Year's Eve," the 45-year-old said of her Caesars Palace gig. "I did a show.

"I love doing shows on New Year's Eve because everybody thinks New Year's Eve is going to be so much fun and there's parties and everything but for some reason, I'm always home.

"I'm always doing nothing. 'Wondering where are the parties?'"

We find that hard to believe, JLo!
