She won R$100 million in Casino but lost it all soon after
The popular saying says that the joy of the poor is short-lived. And this was never more true than in the case we describe here.
A woman thought she had hit the jackpot and won more than 70 million reais in best indian casinos.
Louise Gavez was playing a slot machine at the Fortune Valley Casino in Colorado when the machine announced that she had won 42,949,673 million dollars, which is almost 100 million reals.
She could not contain her joy as Louise is a caregiver for the elderly earning about $1,000 per month.
A prize like this would mean her entrance into the world of millionaires. Not believing what was happening, Louise took pictures, asked employees if everything was all right, and even the manager, already wanting to know how she could receive this spectacular prize.
Like any ordinary person, Louise has imagined herself enjoying this money in a life of luxury and comfort that she didn't have.
Who doesn't dream of trips to wonderful beaches, luxurious destinations, luxury cars, and cinematic mansions?
But her joy was short-lived.
Soon after she thought she had become a millionaire Louise discovered that it was all just a machine problem as the casino claimed.
According to the company, because of April 1st, the machine accidentally nailed the player and gave her a prize that she had not actually won.
She received only a $35 prize, a free dinner and a night in the casino suite. Nothing else. Louise went from millionaire to poor again in just a few minutes. In a statement to local television she said:
I almost died of my heart. I cried a lot. I am very disappointed and angry.But the fight has only just begun. Louise went to the police, and now both the machine and the casino are being investigated, and Louise wants to sue the company for the money.
