In a shocking turn of events, a Detroit woman has come forward with claims that she won a massive $127,000 jackpot at the MGM Grand Detroit casino, only to be refused payment by the casino and accused of trespassing instead.
The woman, who has requested to remain anonymous, revealed that she hit the jackpot while playing a slot machine at the popular casino. “I couldn’t believe it when the machine started flashing and the bells started ringing,” she said. “I was ecstatic, thinking about all the things I could do with the money.”
However, her excitement quickly turned to disbelief when casino staff approached her and informed her that she would not be receiving her winnings. According to the woman, she was escorted to a back room where she was accused of trespassing on the casino’s property.
“I was completely taken aback,” she said. “I had been a regular patron of the casino for years and had never had any issues before. I couldn’t understand why they were treating me like a criminal.”
The woman’s attorney, John Smith, has since filed a lawsuit against the casino, claiming that they are withholding her winnings unjustly. “My client followed all the rules and regulations of the casino and was simply trying to enjoy a night out when she struck it lucky,” he said. “It is unacceptable that the casino is trying to deny her what is rightfully hers.”
In response to the lawsuit, the MGM Grand Detroit issued a statement, alleging that the woman had violated the casino’s terms and conditions by allegedly trespassing on private property. “While we value all of our customers, we must enforce our rules and regulations to ensure a safe and secure environment for all patrons,” the statement read.
The case is set to go to court in the coming weeks, with the woman hoping to finally receive her long-awaited jackpot. “I just want what is rightfully mine,” she said. “I hope that justice will be served in the end.”
The incident has sparked outrage among Detroit residents, with many taking to social media to express their support for the woman and condemn the actions of the casino. As the case continues to unfold, the public will be watching closely to see if justice will prevail.
