Jackpot!

Shoko and I were at Gameworks the other day. After a while of racing each other and shooting at enemies, we decided to go to the ticket game area.

We randomly selected games to play, since we weren't expecting anything from any of these games. The one that left us happy was one where a platform is filled with holes that have different ticket values. The 100 and Jackpot holes were raised up from this platform about half an inch, preventing the ball from just rolling in. I randomly hit the button for this game, the ball drops down, bounces around, and settles down and rolls around. At this point, I had given up on any big winning from the game.

The next moment, the ball gets stuck between this little piece of plastic sticking out of the glass and the raised Jackpot hole. The platform stops. And a half second later, the platform starts rotating and the ball cleanly drops into the Jackpot hole. JACKPOT!

We won 339 tickets on this single turn. We were ecstatic, especially because the little kids around us were looking at us very jealously. Awesome.

I also won two Disney characters from the claw game that day. It was very successful indeed.
