Lady Luck playing a cruel trick on a gambler in Colorado.
Bells and whistles on a penny slot machine had Louise Chavez thinking she'd hit a $42 million jackpot.
"People were coming up to me and saying I won $42 million" Chavez told KDRV FOX31 . "Lights were flashing, it sounded like a fire truck, the screen said 'see attendant.'"
But the staff at the Fortune Valley Casino says the machine malfunctioned and Chavez wasn't a winner at all.
Chavez did get a complimentary room, free breakfast and the $23 that she originally gambled. She says she will continue to push for that big jackpot.
According to reports, the Division of Gaming will look for forensic information in the machine's software and there is a possibility that Chavez could still win some money.
$42 million and they gave me a lousy $23? WTF? Awww hell no. I don't know about you, but if this had happened to me, the sign on the front of the casino would have been changed to "Puddin's Fortune Valley Casino". Nuff said.
