A Very Lucky Girl (April 4, 2007)
In February, a sixteen year old girl and her family went to Macau . They checked into a hotel and the family decided to go to Sands Casino. The girl immediately put on some make up. She looked older than eighteen years old.
The security guards did not stop the family so they all got in. The girl’s grandmother gave her $10 and the girl walked to the slot machines. She put $10 in a slot machine and pulled the handle. The numbers started to spin and after a few seconds, 7-7-7 appeared on the same line. The slot machine suddenly made a loud noise and lights started to flash. The girl was so excited. Everyone walked towards her and smiled.
The manager of Sands came up to her and congratulated her. He told her that she had won the jackpot. She asked, “How much is the jackpot?” The manager replied, “Seven hundred and forty thousand dollars.” The girl almost fainted. The manager asked to see her I.D. card and she showed it to him. He asked her how old she was and she told him she was sixteen. The manager refused to pay her because she was not supposed to be in the casino.
The girl’s mother arrived just in time and called her lawyer. Her lawyer and the casino’s lawyer talked about what happened for a long time. At the end, Sands agreed to pay the mother, not the girl.
Obviously, the whole family was very happy.
