$41,000,000 "Error"
Court: Iowa casino doesn't have to pay $41M jackpot error
Associated Press RYAN J. FOLEY April 24, 2015 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — When an 87-year-old Illinois grandmother bet a quarter in an Iowa slot machine in 2011, she thought she'd hit it big. The screen said: "The reels have rolled your way! Bonus Award - $41797550.16." Pauline McKee and her daughter excitedly summoned casino employees to collect what they thought was a $41.8 million jackpot. But state officials later concluded the award was a computer glitch and that the Isle Hotel Casino in Waterloo didn't have to pay. And the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday that McKee didn't hit any jackpot — no matter what the screen told her. Her good fortune was actually worth only $1.85 based on how the symbols aligned on the Miss Kitty game, the court said. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/court-i...224852601.html |
Isn't anybody on TOTV going to say the Casino should give her the $41M in order to keep her as a customer? After all... "The customer is always right!" :D
