So on Monday night my dad and I went to the casino since it was both the 4th anniversary of my mom passing away (still miss her!) and my dad's birthday (they're no longer happy for him) but the casino gave him a nice bonus for it. The past few Monday nights they have been giving away one of those Phat Scooters:
Dad was playing and the line was forming at the kiosks so I watched his game as he went in line. Scan your card, choose one of three scratchers and win bonus play or D-backs grub or the scooter. He came back with $5. So when he returned, I asked him should I go ahead and scan my card. So at the last moment I did...after watching the three ahead of me pick the middle and winning small change, I picked the right scratcher.
I WON!!!
Announcing my name over the loudspeaker, people congratulating me, picture taken, form to fill out, ID check.
I didn't take the scooter. I couldn't see myself riding around on it and all that so I opted out of it and took the $2000 bonus play, which I have a week to use. (at least with it given as a bonus instead of cash, unless I win $1200 with it as once, it's not taxable).
Gave my dad $300 of the $1000 I'd already one, treated him to dinner and said mom was guiding me to the win so that we can give my dad a happy birthday. My biggest win at the casino ever
