Lottery Winners Blow Up Their House


Once in a while the discussion centers around the, "What would you do if you won the lottery?" question. Most of us aren't all that creative in our answers. By a house. Buy a car. Quit my job. The other day I stumbled upon an article about two brothers that 'celebrated' their big win in a rather unusual way. And, as is often the case, their celebration had some unintended consequences. Reporter,  Leigh Goessll, of the Digital Journal, got the scoop and The Mystic Gambler posts the story here. Wichita - Two brothers accidentally blew up their Kansas house during a lottery win celebration. The duo allegedly celebrated their $75,000 prize with marijuana and meth.

After winning $75,000 with a lottery ticket, two brothers from Wichita accidentally blew up their house, reported the Wichita Eagle. Authorities said the duo had celebrated their scratch-off ticket winnings by purchasing marijuana and meth.


The explosion occurred on Friday at about 7 p.m. According to police, the fire occurred when one brother went into the kitchen to refuel a butane torch they "planned to use to light their bongs," reported The Eagle. After emptying the cans, butane was leaked into the air.

“The butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, and as you might expect, ka-boom,” Sgt. Bruce Watts of the Wichita Police Department said.

One of the brothers, age 27, was injured with second-degree burns and brought to the hospital. The other was arrested on drug charges after he admitted to having methamphetamine and marijuana in the house.
Reportedly, the injured brother was dropped off at the hospital by his girlfriend. Her kids were also allegedly in the car. She has not been seen since.

The injured brother was released on Monday, reported the Kansas City Star.

Neighbor Mary Jewett recalled the incident to the media, telling the Kansas City Star that the explosion "shook the whole house" and she thought she heard yelling of "get out". She also remembers the smoke.
"It shook my whole kitchen and it shook my kids bedroom," she said, reported CBS News affiliate KWCH 12.

    Gambling online for real money is just a source of pleasure. But you also need to remember that you should not make real money in virtual online games.

Gamblers And The Excitement Of Losing

Image
As much as I have gambled I have also wondered about the psychology behind it. And as I walk onto the casino  floor and look around I can't help but wonder, how strange everybody appears. Kind of possessed. What is it that draws us to these games? Winning big money? I've often thought, that for many of us, its not the chance of winning that we're addicted to as much as it's the excitement of not losing. Could that be where the fun is? This article by Susan Coiser for LiveScience , seems to confirm at least a portion of my suspicion.

Biggest Casino Jackpot Winners Ever!

Image
Does it really happen? Yes it does. Several years ago I was at the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Casino in Laughlin NV when a lady hit the quarter Wheel of Fortune for over a million dollars. Many folks don't realize it but each state has it's own wheel of fortune jackpot that's managed by IGT (International Gaming Technology) so the odds might be better than you think. Although still, not very good. There really are big casino winners but they are rare.So rare in fact that even the casinos can't believe it when it actually happens. But that's for another post. Below is a list of some of the biggest casino winners of all time.May these casino jackpot winners give us all hope as we stroll into the devils playground.

How I became a a regular winner at playing Four Card Keno

Playing only nickel Four Card Keno I would regularly win between $800  and $1,700.00. During lucky streaks and playing quarters it was thousands! The Case For Playing Four Card Keno My venture into gambling didn’t start with playing Four Card Keno. Most gambling books that I read plainly said that Video Poker and Blackjack were really the only games that gamblers could expect to win at consistently - over the long haul. And, often in the same book or article, I would read that Keno had the worst odds in the casino. So my wife and I became a semi-professional video poker player team. We played for several years were happy to travel from Phoenix to Las Vegas or Laughlin on weekends. As traveling became more difficult, my wife and I found ourselves frequently visiting local Indian casinos and playing ‘short’ video poker machines. ‘Short’ being games with pay tables that had less than a positive expected return.  That’s frowned upon in the video poker world. One day I compared the
