$17,000 Found underneath Slot Machines

Ok, so we've all had those times when we've reached into our pockets of a jacket and pull out some change, and sometimes even some cold cash. We usually get that giddy feeling and even consider our luck and putting down some money on our local lottery. Bottom line: it's unexpected at best and it makes ya "feel good".

Now, consider that the Sands Casino Hotel in Atlantic City is closed and being cleaned up before demolition. And when this cleaning occurred, they found a little more than cold cash. In fact, they found 17,193.34 under the over 2000 slot machines throughout the casino.

Of course, Uncle Sam has to get his piece of this "find". The Sands have to pay 8% tax on the findings, just like anyone who took home gambling winnings.

Here's to hoping some day I find maybe 1% of that in my jeans. Ahhh well....one can dream, can't they?
