A Shamong woman is fighting for her winnings after hitting a $2 million jackpot on a slot machine at an Atlantic City casino, only to be denied her prize by the casino’s management.
The lucky winner, Susan Thompson, was visiting the famous Ocean Resort Casino with her husband last weekend when she decided to try her luck on the popular “Mega Bucks” slot machine. To her utter disbelief, she managed to strike the jackpot, winning a whopping $2 million in cash.
Ecstatic and overjoyed by her stroke of luck, Thompson immediately called for a casino attendant to verify her win. However, to her shock and dismay, casino staff informed her that they were unable to pay out the full amount due to a “malfunction” with the machine.
Thompson was left confused and frustrated by this turn of events, as she had followed all the rules and had not done anything out of the ordinary while playing the slot machine. She was told that the maximum payout for that particular machine was only $25,000 and that the $2 million jackpot was an error.
Despite her pleas and protests, the casino management stood firm in their decision not to pay out the full amount. Thompson has since hired a lawyer to represent her in the matter and is prepared to take legal action against the casino if necessary.
In a statement to the press, Thompson expressed her disappointment and disbelief at the situation, stating, “I can’t believe this is happening to me. I won fair and square, and now they’re trying to cheat me out of my winnings. It’s just not right.”
The Ocean Resort Casino has not responded to requests for comment on the matter, but Thompson remains determined to fight for what she rightfully won. She is hoping that justice will prevail and that she will eventually be able to claim her $2 million jackpot in full.
The case has garnered significant attention and support from the public, with many people expressing outrage at the casino’s actions and calling for Thompson to be given her rightful winnings. The saga is set to continue as Thompson and her legal team prepare to battle it out with the casino in the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
