The Reel Life

The Reel Life loves listening to music when playing the online slots. The tunes can vary depending on our mood, but we admit that Alanis Morissette sometimes sneaks into our playlist. And in one of her most famous songs, "Ironic," she opens with: "An old man turned 98, won the lottery and died the next day." Well, it turns out this lyric was prophetic more than 13 years later.

According to WHDH, Donald Peters, 79, bought two Connecticut lottery tickets from a local 7-Eleven on Nov. 1 as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte. Later that day, "the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury."

Last week, his widow cashed in one of those tickets for a $10 million prize which, "in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers."

The Reel Life is hoping that once we hit that huge jackpot, we'll be able to live long enough to enjoy it. But until we get there, we'll just turn up "Jagged Little Pill" and continue to plug away.

Aladdin grants a big wish

Last month brought Silver Oak Casino its newest jackpot winner. Playing the Real-Video series slots game Aladdin's Wishes, Irma B. won $52,324.70 on just a $1 bet.

"I couldn't believe it," Irma told us via the phone. "I just screamed and screamed and screamed when we won."

When asked what she planned to do with the money, Irma told us that the winnings would pay for her entire family to move to the larger city of Fairbanks. For her, as well as her three children and husband Marty, the Silver Oak represents a chance at a new life. "We were thinking of moving before this. The economy here is so bad and things are so expensive [she told us it cost roughly $7 for a gallon of gas there that we wanted to move to a bigger city, but never could afford to move everything. Now we can get a start on a new home."

Irma stated that she chose Silver Oak because of her husband.

"You know, my husband had been looking for a good casino for a few months. When we saw (Silver Oak) we liked the look but more importantly, my husband liked the games you had, so we signed up. Best decision he's ever made if you ask me."
