Man Who Unknowingly Won $229K Jackpot at Las Vegas Slot Machine Is Tracked Down by Officials
Fox Business | February 10, 2022 | Ann Schmidt
An error on a Las Vegas slot machine led officials to go on a lengthy search for a big jackpot winner.
Casino patron Robert Taylor, from Arizona, won a $229,368.52 jackpot at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 8, according to a press release from the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
However, because of a malfunction with the slot machine, Taylor didn’t realize he had won, so he left the casino without the prize.
Straight Line of the Day: If you heard the Nevada Gaming Control Board was trying to track you down, …
…I’d say “Dude, that was supposed to stay in Vegas.”
…I would scream “discrimination against a white man” because it took so long and reap a couple million more in a settlement.
Look, I was only the food & beverage manager that’s all. I wasn’t involved with the Aces High variety show OK?
I would bet a million dollars they were not trying to give me money.
I would probably try not to mention that I shot a man in Reno.
… I would lay odds that they have the resources to find me…
… I would bet that the IRS is not too far behind…
Craps would certainly be on my mind.
…and underwear.
It would look like a scene from The Blues Brothers before they caught me.
Cocaine-fueled car crashes – got it!
Tut tut… Shouldn’t wear sunglasses driving at night.
I would abandon my current identity, embrace my prepared alias, purchase a used Bentley with cash and drive south.
Be thankful it’s not an Indian casino. THey track you down hours later because they overpaid you by $5,
(And yes, that’s a true story.)
Indian givers!
I’ll show myself out.
I’d offer them a nice slice of Eudaemonic Pie.
