If this
heart-warming story doesn't hit
home with most all online casino
players, it should. In the past
5 weeks, online casino players
have been learning about the
aftermath form Hurricane
Katrina. Most of the stories are
heart-breaking. We have read
about families losing
everything, pets being stranded,
people dying., others not
knowing what lies ahead. Well,
here is a great story of hope.
On Wednesday
, a Hurricane Katrina
victim who lives in New Orleans
who spent just $4.25 in a slot
machine got a huge payment back
on her investment. She won a
$1.6 million jackpot.
While on
her way to a quick mart type
store, Jacqueline Sherman choose to stop in at
Louisiana's Evangeline Downs
Racetrack & Casino fro a bit
of casino game-play.
She acknowledges being a casino
gambling lover. She even feels
that it calms her ragged nerves.
Since
she was told to leave her house
for the
hurricane, which destroyed her
home, she has been sleeping on
her sister's floor in Opelousas,
Louisiana. Not the best place
for someone to have to sleep,
but it was something - a place
to rest.
In just
over a month from the day her
life, and so many others
changed, she came out of a
casino with a staggering $1.6
million dollars to her name.
At this
time it is not sure exactly what
she plans to do with her new
cash, but something was
mentioned about her helping
others in need.
Sherman gives us all
something to smile about during
the lengthy process of recovery
for the area struck by
devastation.
