ME, the dumb guy was walking away with 2 buckets of coins.
A nice lady walks up to me and said
" stand at your machine, the pay off is MORE than the slot can spit out"

I asked how did you know that ?
She said "the blinking light on top is to alert you. Just wait at the machine,
someone will come out and open the machine and give you a slip to take
to the pay window"

Holy Crap, I almost walked away from enough to pay for the ENTIRE Vacation and a whole lot more.

The sweet lady ( with no makeup and stringy wet hair, wearing a sack dress) refused a 15 % reward from me.
Later I found out she was a VERY well known person.
The same happend when I won the 1,200. I was sitting at the machine, I think it was a nickel machine, and all of a sudden the bells and red light went off. Since my husband was in another area I called him and said "I think I won". He questioned why I thought that and I said "the red light is on and the machine said please wait for attendant." I had no clue how much I'd won. It was a good feeling once I found out what I'd won. I put most of it back into the slots......
