I feel kinda bad for him, but at the same time.... lol he kinda deserves it. I was also hoping he had more than just 2.6k in life savings at that point in his life o.0

TBH, i jsut dont understand how people can be so bliund .the point of these carnival games IS to bring in money. everytime my lady plays these games. after maybe the 5th try I ask her: Do you want to spend $10 to buy what you are trying to win? or do you want to spend $50 for it???? LOL

You think? Retards. He shouldn't get any money back. If he is that stupid to spend $2600 to win an Xbox Kinect on a game of chance, he deserves to be broke.

I don't feel bad for him at all. He's clearly an idiot.

It's like going to Vegas with your life savings expecting to come out a millionaire. It does happen but the chances are pretty damned slip.

And this is even worse as the prize was something he could have paid for without gutting his savings. It's like giving a hacker your atm information and expecting them to put money in your account not take it out.

Completely retarded.

obviously the damn game is rigged. If it was easy to win the prize would suck.

Being stupid should have consequences.

I bet my life savings on it.

I really want that Xbox Kinnect!! What do you mean I could have bought 2 of them before I went home and got that other $2300?

This guy is the definition of a rube and the reason why these games exist.
