Like much of life itself, a casino is a chintzy, florescent-lit lagoon of despair where the deck is stacked against you and the drinks are watered down and the roaring promise of a jackpot is the only means of staving off thoughts about The End.

According to ABC, Queens resident Katrina Bookman was told she had won a $42,949,642.76 prize by one of the slot machines at Jamaica's Resorts World Casino.

'I kept thinking about my family,' she said, recalling the moments after she thought she hit the jackpot. However, when Bookman returned the next day to claim her winnings, a casino employee delivered his best Willy Wonka impression. The New York State Gaming Commission said that Bookman's slot machine had been malfunctioning, a glitch that automatically voids her jackpot.

Ripka is now demanding that Bookman be paid $6,500, which is the maximum jackpot allowed by the Sphinx slot machine she had been playing when the glitch occurred. 'The machine takes the money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win.'
