A man goes to Atlantic City to shut his girlfriend up by buying her some jeans she wanted . . . And ends up winning $800,000


A few weekends ago, 42-year-old Sammy Zabib of Queens, New York, and his girlfriend, Anna, went to Atlantic City. They were at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa there and, in one of the shops, his wife saw some jeans she liked.

–Sammy told her he’d buy her the jeans before they left Atlantic City . . . but he forgot. And for the rest of the week, she wouldn’t stop talking about THAT. Sammy says, quote, “She was mad. We had an argument. More than one.”

–So, to finally shut her up, on Friday, Sammy woke up at 5:00 A.M. and drove three hours BACK to Atlantic City to buy her the jeans. He even took a picture of the jeans just to make sure he’d get the right ones. (–Is he a really nice guy or super whipped??? Hard to say.)

–He got to the Borgata before the store selling the jeans had opened. So, to kill some time, he sat down at a Slingo slot machine and started betting $4-a-spin. (–He works as a limo fleet manager in Queens. Which apparently pays better than we would’ve guessed.)

–And that’s when he hit the jackpot . . . and WON ALMOST $800,000. (!!!) He took his money, bought the jeans, called Anna and, quote, “She wasn’t mad anymore.”

–But, he says, even though NOW he’s glad he went back to Atlantic City, he’s STILL not sure why she was freaking out over the jeans. Quote, “I don’t know much about them. They look like normal jeans.” (Newark Star-Ledger)
