Marie Robinson, aged 77 from Delaware, was sure that the thief who broke into her house and menacingly demanded her purse knew full well that she had just won the jackpot at the local casino. What he didn't know though, was that Robinson used to be a deputy sheriff - and she fought back good and hard. It is evident that she still knows how to pack a punch because she reports that, after she had taken a swing at the robber, he was bleeding through his mask.

The crook did get away with Robinson's purse - but something else he didn't know was that it had nothing in it. Robinson had become suspicious about three men who followed her home from the casino and hidden her winnings.

That's two jackpots she won in a single day.
