The New York State Gaming Commission said that Bookman's machine had malfunctioned. The machine, like all the ones in the casino, has a disclaimer stating, "Malfunctions void all pays and plays." Instead, the casino offered Bookman a complimentary steak dinner. "All I could think about was my family," Bookman told WABC, her voice breaking. She grew up in foster care and raised 4 children as a single mother. The New York State Gaming Commission told WABC that they immediately pulled the machine from the casino floor to fix it, and it is now up and running once again. The commission said that by law they can only award Bookman her actual winnings of $2.25, printed by the machine. "They win, and

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is maintaining a decided advantage in the Electoral College this November, strengthening her grip around states tipping her way while forcing Republican nominee Donald Trump to defend a handful of typical GOP strongholds. ABC News’ puts Clinton at 278 electoral votes and Trump at 198, when including both solid and leaning states, which would give Clinton enough states right now in the solid and lean blue columns to hand her the White House. Sixty-two electoral votes are in toss-up states.

On Monday, I wrote an article about how Christine Michael is part of the problem for the Seattle Seahawks offense. The response was much bigger than I expected, and certainly much more negative. I got the obvious stuff: comments left on the blog, tweets, Facebook replies. But then some even took it further and sent me personal emails to tell me why I was wrong in my article that clearly stated that Christine Michael was the entire problem.

Harper's BazaarHillary Clinton's campaign has been disloyal and "dismissive" to her top aide Huma Abedin amid revelations of newly discovered emails found on a device Abedin shared with estranged husband Anthony Weiner, Rep. Marsha Blackburn charged on Newsmax TV. The Tennessee lawmaker said Abedin is no longer on the campaign trail since the FBI began re-examining whether the emails are relevant to the agency's probe of Clinton's private email server, Blackburn told host Steve Malzberg on Monday's "The Steve Malzberg Show." "Now she is not referred to as 'my top aide' or 'one of my senior staff' or 'my closest confidante,'" Blackburn said. "For her not to be there [on the campaign trail], and then to be referred

Asking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to challenge his party’s nominee is a request for him to disregard the will of the Republican voters who nominated Donald Trump in the first place. Who is McConnell - or House Speaker Paul Ryan, for that matter - to impose his will on a party whose voters spoke clearly while nominating Trump fair and square? The concept of Trump being silently enabled by any individual Republican is pure poppycock. You can be upset about Trump’s nomination, but directing anger at McConnell for smartly spending the bulk of his time on holding a conservative Republican Senate

He couldn’t keep his poker face in court. A pro-card player who has won pots at the World Series of Poker blubbered Tuesday as he pleaded guilty to charges that he masterminded a $31 million debt collection scam - believed to be the largest ever prosecuted. Travell Thomas, 38, fidgeted as he admitted he owned and ran a Buffalo-based company where callers at four offices would threaten victims with criminal charges if they didn’t pay inflated debts, known as “juicing.” The callers also lied to make it look like the company was affiliated with the government and the courts system. The scam ran from 2010 to 2015 and resulted in the arrest of Thomas and 14 others. “I knew what I was doing was wrong
