A Canadian decided that he was spending too much time and cash at his local casino and entered the province’s Voluntary Self Exclusion Program. Nevertheless, the still decided to hit the casinos once in a while, and during one of these excursions, he won a $42,500 jackpot. The British Columbia Lottery Corporation, however, is saying that since Michael Lee self-excluded himself from the casino, he can’t claim any prizes. One of the terms of the agreement that he signed specifically says so. On the other hand, Lee said that has won smaller amounts in the past, where he had to show his ID to take home the winnings and nobody said anything to him then. I can’t decide who I’m backing here but it makes for some interesting thought….
Here’s a casino joke courtesy of TCO: “A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in ‘Vegas. She’s down to her last $50. Exasperated, she exclaims, “What rotten luck! What in the world should I do now?” A man standing next to her, trying to calm her down, suggests, “I don’t know… why don’t you play your age?” He walks away. Moments later, his attention is grabbed by a great commotion at the roulette table. Maybe she won! He rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the crowd. The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table operator kneeling over her. The man is stunned. He asks, “What happened? Is she all right?” The operator replies, “I don’t know. She put all her money on 29, and 36 came up. Then she just fainted!”
