Woman to get full casino winnings after all

The hawker who ignited a media brouhaha after being denied of her jackpot winnings worth $410,000 by Marina Bay Sands (MBS) will be getting it in full after all.

The casino had initially refused to pay Ms Choo Hong Eng the 'cash bonus' of $416,742.11 that was displayed on the slot machine's screen on Oct 18, saying that the machine had a cash limit of $50,000, and the message was due to a malfunction.

It offered to pay her $50,000 and give her a sports car worth $258,962.

It all began when the one-armed bandit she had parked herself at lit up, showing her that she had won over $400,000. But a casino employee told her it was an error.

Unhappy at not being given her full winnings, the vegetarian food stall hawker, went to the extent of hiring a lawyer to fight her case. She also complained to the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA).

MBS' offer came before CRA has issued its decision. Ms Choo has since withdrawn her complaint, according to The Straits Times.

Ms Choo said she will be donating all of her winnings to various charities, including the Ren Ci Hospital, the National Kidney Foundation and the Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital.

Hawker tells story of hard life before riches

The hawker who struck gold and won a jackpot dispute against Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has led a hard life before her successes today, local media reports said.

She won $416,000 but MBS had disputed the cash payout. Madam Choo Hong Eng, in her 50s, made a complaint to the Casino Regulatory Authority and even hired a lawyer. In the end, the casino offered to settle.

In a conversation with local reporters, Madam Choo Hong Eng, 58, revealed that she did not know who her parents were. She was abandoned at an orphanage immediately after she was born and at the age of three, she was fostered out.

At the age of 14, she started work at a factory that made wigs.

There were times when she would hurt herself whenever the machine's needle went into her finger and broke off, the tip of the needle left inside her flesh. Then she would have to use a pair of scissors to cut into her finger to remove it.

The finger would bleed and swell after that but she couldn't complain to anyone since she was underage. With her diligence, she would earn more than $1,000 a month, quite a sum in those days.

With her earnings from all her jobs, she started her vegetarian stall 26 years ago, serving up mock chicken rice and laksa.

Precisely because she came from a poor background once, Madam Choo endeavoured to help out at charities and welfare organisations, a Shin Min report said.

She said in Mandarin: 'I started my food stall when I was 32. After business got better, I began to do good deeds. I join fundraisers for about 10 over times a year to sell my chicken rice and laksa and can raise more than $10,000 in a day.'

She added: 'I believe in doing good deeds. Good also begets good, which is why I have won the jackpot prize. But you can't spend money when you're dead. Besides, I have life insurance so it's not necessary to have too much money.

According to Shin Min, the elder daugher (left) is studying in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and is planning to attend university while the younger daughter is currently in ITE. Both were in the dark about their foster mother's win until they came across the media reports.

All these are words that losers use to comfort themselves. The human brain is very susceptible to self-delusion. :smile:

pple gave half of her winnings. how much did you give?

She is a Buddhist and she believes in Buddhist Teachings of Karma. It is a basic teaching in Buddhism that generousity begets wealth. You dun have to believe in it but that's what she believes in

Anyway, nothing wrong with her going to casino to relax and pay some games. She was not there to kill someone.
