And this involves a lawyer who won a ton of money on a slot machine in the British Virgin Islands.
Shortly after putting a $20 bill into one of the machines, Paulson said he hit the jackpot.
“Next thing I know there’s bells and whistles going off, the place is going crazy,” he said.
The machine indicated he’d won $5.15 million; but as the quarters began to pour from the machine, Paulson said a manager came over and shut off the machine.
“Whoever shut the machine off said, ‘It’s an obvious malfunction. If you look at the top of the machine, it says we’re not responsible for malfunction of the machines . There’s no bet,’” Paulson said, adding that the casino management did not explain how or why the malfunction occurred.
After being offered $100 and a free meal by the casino’s manager, Paulson asked if the casino would pick up the tab for his trip.
