Default A 25K swing

Sunny Mehta (coltrane), CCass, Ed Miller and I are eating breakfats at 3pm at the Bellagio cafe. It's my birthday. Not many people know this, but I am a world-class breakfast Keno player. As game 545 runs, I fill out my usual 4-way 2 and 1-way 8 ticket. The pairs were:

5 15
8 18
26 36
27 37

There are three keno runners at the Bellagio cafe. Usually you can get game slips run quickly. Sometimes when they are busy you might miss one game. They are not busy today. Several minutes pass. None come by. I miss game 546. Still have keno ticket and cash in hand. No keno runner comes to our table. I have never waited two full games to get a keno runner, epsecially at the Bellagio. Game 547 starts.

I hit all eight spots.

Any reaasonable work effort from a keno runner and I would have won $25,048.

It's similar to the lottery...sometimes also referred to as a dumpster.
