Yesterday I was looking at my box that I keep my spare change in, it was about to overflow, so I took it to our credit union and ran it through the coin machine, little over 90 bucks. Went next door and ate some lunch, then had this crazy idea to go over to the casino and play some slots, had not been there in awhile.
To make a long story short, ended up playing this Wheel of Fortune Quarter Slot Machine with a Progressive, played on that thing for like an hour, was up to $ 168.00, almost decided to leave because I was tired of playing. Then decided OK, 10 more minutes, then BOOM all (3) Wheel Of Fortune Symbols landed on the Center Line, I Won the Multi-State Progressive Payout of $ 212,796.31 - I could not believe it, was in shock to say the least, called my Wife, she thought I was kidding, no I was not.
Took several hours for them to do the verification and what not, then come to find out the payout was a 20 year annuity. Received an email later this morning saying I could take a lump sum payment of $ 144,000.00 or the Annuity, decided to go with the lump sum payout!!!
