Post Casino Voids Retiree's $102,000 'Jackpot'
Source: http://www.nbc10.com/news/10834746/detail.html

basic story...

Wilkinson was feeding 50 cents a pull into a slot machine on Monday when message board attached to the machine lit up. "Power Player jackpot, Steve Wilkinson, congratulations you have just won $102,000."

"About a half hour after the initial hit, they came over and said, 'we were running a test on the system and it never should have come out on the floor, and we're sorry,'"

Wilkinson then requested to speak with someone else, and then a manager came out to offer him two food comps at the buffet instead of the $102,000 jackpot



gutted :/

If there is a possibility for the test to do that, then why didn't they shut the machine down?

Their mistake, give him the money.
