NJ Woman Says Bally’s Casino Blamed $2.5M Jackpot on Glitch
A New Jersey senior citizen says she plans to file suit after hitting a $2.5 million jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Bally’s casino in Atlantic City—only to be told that her big win was a glitch and she could not collect. Roney Beal, 72, told the New York Post that the one-armed bandit informed her “You’ve won,” spewed out gold coins, and flashed a blue light after she landed on the word “jackpot” with a dollar sign. “And then the people behind me got up and they’re like, ‘oh my god, oh my god.’ This guy says, ‘Lady, you’re a millionaire,’” Beal said. A Bally’s worker told her the machine malfunctioned, refused to pay out, and asked her to leave, she said. Her attorney says they plan to sue Bally’s and the gaming company International Game Technology for the $2.5 million plus another million for emotional distress. IGT said it “is cooperating with the casino operator’s investigation of this matter.”Read it at New York PostRead more at The Daily Beast.

People just can't get started," Perkins said. "With the cloud cover and there's a lot of moisture in the air, things are just not performing as they should."Bernadette Mellon, a customer at the garden center, is eager to start planting."It's probably delayed our gardening for about three weeks now," Mellon said. "I have more to do, and I hope the weather holds up, so I can get this done by tomorrow hopefully."Perkins said people can start planting now, but they'll just have to deal with wet soil, which, on the bright side, can make digging easier."You can still plant," Perkins said. "Just keep an eye on your plants for disease and insects because that seems to be hitting things earlier than normal."
