The woman couldn’t believe that she had won so much money on a slot machine.
Luck is a mysterious force that seems to choose random individuals to give them a small taste of its power. Many people go to casinos to gamble a few coins in the hope of walking away with a little more money than they had when they arrived.
This is just what happened to a young woman in France, who invested a tiny amount and became rich in the blink of an eye. As reported by the Argentine media TNthe woman, whose identity remains hidden, entered the Casino Barriere Saint-Malo very cautious. Since these types of betting places have a “bad name”, apparently the woman did not want to waste all her money so she only bet 1 dollar.
The lucky winner never imagined that by putting her money in a slot machinethis would return the incredible amount of $241,838.
As soon as it was announced that she had won the jackpot, the woman was shocked; she didn’t seem to understand what was happening. Such was her impression that the local workers had to assist her and explain that she had earned a lot of money. They even invited her a drink to celebrate and separated her from the rest of the players to continue the process.
According to the workers, it is a normal reaction to be stunned by the news. They have seen many individuals win and not understand what has happened, so they already know how to act in these cases. However, they pointed out that they were also surprised because it was the second largest prize of its kind, won in Saint-Malo.
François-Stéphane Vergne, director of the casino, mentioned that the woman was new to this type of game; a person with no experience in slot machines. According to her testimony, the young woman was accompanying her mother and she decided to play 80 cents of a euro. To everyone’s surprise, she hit the jackpot and got more than 240 thousand dollars.
The director declared that this fact was cause for celebration since it is not every day that a prize this big can be awarded with such a small bet.
