Big Bucks (and I don't mean deer)
Diane and I had some errands to do in Sonora today. When we finished, I suggested we drive the extra 5 miles to have dinner at the local Indian casino (good food and a low price). After dinner, we decided to play the slots for a while. I, (the big spender) was playing a penny machine while Diane watched over my shoulder. She got tired of watching so she dug in her purse for some money and said, "I'll be playing the machine right behind you". After a few minutes, I glanced over to see how she was doing.....she was making a fish face...her mouth was moving, but no sound was coming out . It was then that I noticed the jackpot light on her machine was blinking merrily away. There were three double jackpot icons lined up....it was at this point my eyes strayed to the machine denomination....SHE WAS PLAYING A DOLLAR MACHINE!..........a sixteen hundred dollar jackpot!!!
Needless to say, she is one happy camper. It was the biggest jackpot she has ever won and the money will sure come in handy in this
economic climate.
Being the shy, retiring type that she is...she had me take pictures when we got home.

(now...if I can just talk her in to investing in a gold dredge....)
