Woman lost out on thousands of dollars after big casino mistake
Cynthia Obie from Maryland said she lost out on thousands of dollars after the casino staff took down her Social Security number wrong.
A watch with a built-in slot machine. It even has a handle to pull. April 18, 2007 6:00 a.m. Bourne in Time As the poker craze has turned suburban enclaves into dens of gambling. Of playing slot machines. Virtually, anyone who visits a casino is familiar with a slot machine and how it operates, even a novice. You insert a coin, pull the handle or press a button and wait a few seconds to see if you win. It’s basic simplicity accounts for much of the success of slot machines in today’s casinos.
A Maryland woman who thought she hit the jackpot Friday night ended up going home with jack squat -- all because of a typo.
Cynthia Obie told FOX5DC she was at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. when her slot machine's symbols suddenly aligned and she won a tremendous payout.
“I was very excited. Like, I need this money,” Obie told the news station.
But Obie said that when casino staff took down her personal information, they misread her Social Security — by one number.
That mistake cost Obie nearly everything.
The Social Security number the casino plugged in belonged to an individual who happened to owe Maryland a hefty amount of child support, FOX5DC reported.
“I’m like, 'No. All of my daughters are grown. I’ve never paid child support.' I’m like, 'this can’t be right,'” she said.
The Maryland woman said she would have been thousands of dollars richer by now -- she did not reveal the exact amount of the jackpot -- but the typo prevented her from getting a penny. Instead, she was offered a $200 free play credit and drink vouchers for the night.
An MGM spokesperson said in a statement to FOX5DC the casino is aware of the “unfortunate error” and is working on fixing the situation.

“Due to MLGCA [Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency] rules and Maryland State Law, we cannot provide an additional payout for this jackpot, however, if she presents the proper identification credentials to the Maryland Gaming Commission, they will provide her with the appropriate payout,” the statement read. “We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused Ms. Obie.”
Obie said she’s frustrated with the situation and just wants the money she won.
“Now I’m at the point, this is insane. You guys are a billion-dollar corporation,' she said. 'You do the research: I won fair and square. I just want my money.'
The Kansas City Chiefs busted out the bag of tricks again during their 35-31 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
You’ll recall earlier in the season that the Chiefs have utilized a number of unique plays to get points or positive yardage in key situations. A few of the most recent include QB Patrick Mahomes throwing an underhand TD pass to Travis Kelce in Week 8 against the New York Jets. Then in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers, they debuted “Ferrari Right” which sent Mahomes in pre-snap motion before the play.
On Sunday in Week 11, the Chiefs revealed a play that drew from elements of both of those plays and added it’s own unique twist. The twist, of course, was Kelce taking the snap in a Wildcat look. Check it out:
This play seemingly combines the underhand shovel pass and the pre-snap motion from the two plays. However, instead of Mahomes taking the ball this time around, it’s a direct snap to Kelce, who then gets the ball to WR Byron Pringle. Unfortunately, Pringle turned the wrong way upfield after catching the pass and ran into some traffic. He still managed to fight for the first down, but he could have had a touchdown had he turned the opposite direction.
Kelce spoke a bit about this play after the game, revealing its name and origin. Apparently, it was a very recent addition to the playbook.

“It went in, I think on Thursday or Friday,” Kelce said. “It’s called ‘Slot Machine Right.’ Yeah, I was hoping that we would hit all sevens on that son of buck, doggone man. But Pring (Byron Pringle) was out there trying to make a play and sure enough, we got some positive yards which was the best.”
Mahomes also spoke a bit about the play after the game. He was impressed with the underhand toss by Kelce but also thought the play could have been executed a bit better. He even thought that he was open in the flat on the play and could have beat Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski to the endzone.
“I thought he did a good job,” Mahomes said. “He was able to sell it, get the underhand throw on that inside shoulder and get Pringle a chance. We actually had it designed to be a little tighter. I think if we were able to get it even tighter we would have got that touchdown. I was even open the flat if he wanted to sling it out there as well.”

Kelce is now 1-for-2 passing in his career in Kansas City. His last pass came against the New York Giants back in 2017. He threw an interception on that one.
