| A Friend, Nohema, Glenda & Michael Toasting Lightning Strikes! |
Lightning
Strikes Again!
Early this spring Glenda and Glenn moved to our
area and we’ve gotten to know them as their new home is being built. They recently
sustained a few “lightning strikes,” none of which caused any damage. About two
weeks ago the Major Jackpot on the Lightning Link slot bank near the
Cabaret along the Hwy 395 wall hit Glenda for under a thousand dollars – more
like a bee sting. The big bolt came from the Grand Jackpot on the same slot bank when it struck Glenda for $11,718 last week. It was Glenn who
shared this jackpot news with Julie in our Marketing Department. She was
skeptical at first ‘cause he told it like one of the fishing stories that often
is “spun” after Glenn has been out fishing with CVI’s MOD Malcolm and bartender
Matt. In this tale, Glenn’s wife Glenda got the two fish (the money) and Glenn
got to tell the story!!
