    Up in smoke: Man wins at casino, loses it in blaze


    May 5, 3:58 PM (ET)

    SOLVAY, N.Y. (AP) - A Syracuse-area man's lucky day at an upstate casino has gone up in smoke - along with his winnings. Kenneth Lamoree said he returned to his home in Solvay around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday after winning $3,200 at the Turning Stone casino in Verona. A little more than an hour later, a fire broke out in the two-family home he shares with his fiancee and their three children.
    They and the family living downstairs escaped unharmed. Police evacuated residents of two neighboring houses as a precaution.
    The house suffered extensive damage and its contents - including Lamoree's wallet with his casino winnings - are believed to have been destroyed.
    Lamoree said he had planned to use the money to pay bills.
    The fire's cause was under investigation.
    Run until it sounds expensive

    Isn't that what most people do with their casino winnings?
