Get excited for nothing
December 25, 2008, 8:21 am (2 years ago)An almost-luckiest woman from New Zealand thought the Christmas has brought her a miracle. When she was playing a slot machine in Dunedin, New Zealand, it momentarily displayed a $A 36 million jackpot hit. But she subsequently saw the machine was out of order and what she really had won was just $A 420.
She described the situation as '' a brief, wonderful moment'', for a short time she believed she was a multi-millionaire after depositing $A11.75into the poker machine at the Law Courts Hotel in Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island. But a red light was flashing on the machine and the hotel called an engineer.
If the machine was not malfunctioning, she would have won almost $A36 million ($NZ42million). The defective parts were sent back to the Japanese maker and few weeks later unfortunate Verna was told what really went on.
