(old search) |  One Lucky Night Posted August 19, 2003 at 03:38:32 PM by Bean One evening, probably about 18 months ago or so, I was out in Broadripple with IndyCool and had an extremely lucky experience. We were all sitting at a large wooden table at OPTs, drinking beer and shootin' the shit, when Nate walks up to the table next to me and says something about the ATM. I walk over to him and ask what he's talking about, and he says that when he went to get $40 from the ATM (which only put out multiples of $20), it gave him a $20 and a $50. Approximately 3 seconds later, I was standing in line to withdraw money. Koji was in front of me, and when he tried to withdraw $100, he ended up getting a few $20's, two $50's and a $100. I said "If you got the last of it, I am gonna kick your ass" to Koji as I was swiping my ATM card.
After a few seconds, the bills came out: $100, $100, $100, $100, and $100. Jackpot... now for the reciept. Unfortunately, the printer was jammed and no reciept came out, so I was left wondering if the extra $400 was "free" or whether my withdrawl would total $502. Undaunted, Koji and I drove to the bank down the street to check our ballances. It was a great moment when we both realized that only $102 had been withdrawn. We went back and tried to withdraw more, but by this time the free money had been tapped and it was spitting out plain old $20's again. Several other IndyCool folk got some extra from the defunkt ATM, but I think I came out the most ahead. We treated ourselves to many drinks that night, and Koji and I went to the most expensive steak house we could find the following evening for a celebratory feast. My guess is that the ATM was simply loaded incorrectly. Some schmuck mixed $50's and $100's in with the $20's and made my friggin day. Boo yah!
