Not-so-lucky winner

A US woman has been denied a $42 million gambling jackpot because of a technical problem.

Louise Chavez thought she'd won the staggering sum on a slot machine at the Fortune Valley Casino in Colorado but was told by staff that the game had broken.

Instead, she was offered a complimentary room, free breakfast and the $23 she originally gambled as compensation.

Louise - who has a number of experts looking into the machine's software - is continuing to push for the money.

She said: "I played the game, I put my money into the machine, whether it's $42 million, $42,000 or $4,000, I should get what the machine said."
