Week #11: Lucky



My mom, my sister Kim and I would drive to Wendover, Nevada for a girls gambling trip. We would usually leave in the evening and gamble all night.  Mom was very lucky and had certain machines she liked to play because they were her lucky machines.

On one visit, I heard her calling my name. She was playing a dollar machine around the corner from where I was playing.  She had hit a jack pot but didn't have her ID.  I cashed out on my machine and walked over to where she was playing. Sure enough she had won $10,000.

One of the younger casino agents told her that she had to have her ID. Mom was worried and wanted to know if I had my ID on me.  Another agent came over to verify the win.  Luckily, they had my mom's ID on file and they gave her the cash. And to add to this story, she had done this several times.
Mom loved her trips to Wendover.
