Xbox 360 Kinect at Walmart = $149.00
Amount spent at Carnival Game Trying to Win an Xbox 360 Kinect = $2,600
If the man wanted an Kinect so badly he should have gone to Walmart.
There's the old saying, quit while you are ahead.

H-how? Seriously, who goes and withdraws their life savings for a carnival game? Better yet, who doesn't realize those games have a low probability of actually winning?
I remember trying that exact game out when I was younger, and after a dozen throws I managed to get like, one ball in. It's not impossible, just highly improbable like any other type of gambling...
I hope this guy goes and buys a 360 after all this and then pays yearly for Live out of his remaining life savings.

I am surprised that his life savings were a mere 2600$ in cash.

We don't need to raise taxes to solve the debt crisis, we need to have more carnivals, obviously.

I've played a few where I won something
I won a HUGE teddy bear off of a dollar once the ones you want to stick to are the multiplayer ones like the squirting one or the one like mini skeeball
