Good Luck Comes With (Sorta) Hard Work!

Sounds like a fortune cookie, but it happened to me today.

I was on my way home from work when I noticed I needed some petrol. That's gas to us Americans. I stopped at The Ho - no, that's not some woman I decided to defame but a casino/gas station on Industrial. After gassing up I realized I had to use the bathroom. I'll skip the details on that.

After I left the room, I noticed that there were some cool looking Monopoly slot machines. I figured 'what the hell' and dropped a $5. First spin, I got to do the little board game and roll dice. (No, slot machines don't just spin and jingle anymore... The machine in question looked a little like the one in the picture, but was newer.) Long story short, on one pull I won $50.

Good luck!

Heh, it was a nickel machine. I won't bore you with the details of having to scoop up $55 or so dollars worth of nickels, but it's a lot. Two buckets to be exact.

When I got to the cashier, I found out I dropped one, and had fifty something and ninety five cents coming back to me. I quickly gave her a nickel to make it an even amount because after all those nickels, I didn't want to see another one again.
