Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | Slot machine saves German gambler as police arrive Insider Buzz: Slot machine saves German gambler as police arriveRating:Police said Thursday that two officers carrying out routine checks at an arcade in the western city of Bochum, Germany, late last week discovered that a man playing a slot machine faced an arrest warrant. He had been ordered to pay a €710 (US$910) fine or go to prison for 71 days after resisting police during a previous incident. Police say that as officers informed the man that he faced arrest, the slot machine started to flash and the beaming 37-year-old won a jackpot of €1,000 (about US$1,300). The man paid his fine on the spot — in cash. Thanks to hearsetrax for the tip. AP

NY State United States Member #92605 June 10, 2010 4750 Posts Offline | Yeah, cuz there was once a time in Germany where they'd have just pulled out a Lugar and shot him. Players who've won large lottery jackpots have something in common. Many of them say "I've played the lottery for years, but I never won anything but small prizes." That's normal or typical, but it's also why you should not get discouraged and stop playing. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll say "I've played the lottery for years...." | | |
