Granny gets lucky - twice
April 20, 2006 on 1:08 pm | In Slot machine overviews |An octogenarian in Atlantic City in the USA has struck it lucky - twice.
“A FIVE cent poker machine in Atlantic City US disgorged a $US10 million ($13.42 million) windfall for an 84-year-old US grandmother who promptly received four marriage proposals.”
Large payouts in the USA tend to be taxed, where in Australia they are tax free, and also tend to be paid out over long timeframes, where in Australia they are paid in an immediate lump sum. US jackpots can get considerably larger than those found anywhere else in the world
As for the marriage proposals - well she turned them all down. But no doubt it was nice to be asked.

nice to be asked, but somewhat strange she was not asked before the windfall if she was such a great catch
