Happy Floridian

An anonymous woman has become one of the state’s first major slot machine winners. The state has just recently approved slot machines in the first place, and now they have seen a huge influx in people racing to get a seat at the casinos to play and try their luck. This woman won at a progressive slot, which makes players wager ten dollars for every push of the button. Many people have different rules of thumb for deciding which machine to play. This woman has clearly adopted the go big or go home adage, since she decided that losing a few tens is worth the possibility of a huge win.

This time her thinking was right on the money, since she actually won over 2 million dollars. She is from Land o’ Lakes, which is surprisingly the name of a real city. She went to play at the nearest casino that she had to her house, and decided that she would try her luck in a big huge way.

This was perhaps the best decision she could have ever made, since now the state of Florida will be making good on their promise and delivering her a substantial amount of cash for the next twenty years of her life.

She has wisely chosen to remain anonymous and avoid all of the craziness that comes with others knowing about your great slot machine fortune.
