What was he thinking!

Sitting in the cafeteria, eating lunch, I overheard this conversation from table next to me. Apparently, this guy who was recently divorced (wife cheated on him), went into work one day to find out he was being let go after 20 years of service. He heads home, opens a can of pop, puts on the TV to see that a levy close-by had broken and his house was in the path of the flood. Authorities were asking people to evacuate immediately. He gets into his car and starts to drive away as the flood waters encroach on his home. Driving aimlessly, he soon runs out of gas and has to stop in the middle of nowhere. His cell phone shows zero bars and he no option but to walk. As he is walking along, hoping to hitch hike a ride, he wanders into a Native American reservation (with casino), where he grabs a quick meal, tries his hand at the slot machines and hits the jackpot for $500,000!

As I was driving back from lunch, I could not help but wonder what was going through this man's mind that made him try his hand at the slots. "My wife left me for another man, I am jobless, homeless, with no means of transport and incommunicado from the rest of the world....I guess I am feeling lucky today!"
