Man denied $100,000 jackpot because friend pushed the button | KFOR.com

This story sent my pressure up! Why in the world would the casino award the friend the money when they had the man on camera playing the machine? Why would the girl accept the money and then offer to share "some" of the money? A decent human being would take the check from the casino and hand it over to her friend. What is this policy that whoever touched the machine last is the rightful winner? Never heard of this but good to know!

I heard this on the news yesterday also, it crazy!!
And i agree, the girl should have handed the check over

 

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

That's really bad, it was his money

 

[CareyG]

Wow that is seriously messed up. I do that a lot with my boyfriend, make him hit the button for me for luck. NEVER AGAIN!! lol

 

[dani3839]

LOL, I'm betting your boyfriend would hand the money over Carey!

 

[Luck3Sevens]

LOL, I'm betting your boyfriend would hand the money over Carey!

Maybe maybe not. I'd test the theory on a small jackpot but not a big one!

 

[vixen777]

WOW.. Wonder if they are friends anymore

 

[CareyG]

WOW.. Wonder if they are friends anymore

Nope! The article says it was the end of their friendship!

 

[vixen777]

I didn't read the whole thing..

Oh that's really ****ed up. Still better than this Spanish fiancees that sue each other for years over Lotto winning (sorry cant find the article, it was some years ago). Not only that they break up, but they spend a lot of the money for lawyers..

 

[vixen777]

That is a damn shame when lawyers end up getting all the money!!

 

[DaneKingShep]

I've never heard of this rule before, it's absolutely outrageous!!

 

[florafay]

We'll that is so sad.

Me too Carey. I wonder if all casinos are that way..

BTW my husband, not my boyfriend.. Just wanted to clarify that

 

[Thanzanaq]

Oh, it's interesting to know, I used to play with my friend like this. Now I think it's a good thing that we didn't win anything then)

 

[dani3839]

I dont think a true friend would have done that
