The Reel Life: D.A.R.E. and DUIs edition
11 Aug 2011
According to TV station WAVE, a police officer in Seymour, Ind. was arrested last week and charged with DUI after he swiped a parked car and then hit a tree in his pickup truck.
A police officer getting a DUI is a newsworthy story, but it’s not a Reel Life story. What makes this story Reel Life approved is what Officer John Newcomb was towing behind his pickup truck: A trailer that said D.A.R.E.
Newcomb is a “School Resource Officer” in Seymour. According to the Seymour Police Department website, he is “responsible for seven schools, acting as a mentor and providing students with a role model.”
To top this story off, Newcomb claimed his dog, which was in the truck with him, was a distraction and actually caused the crash.
The Reel Life has blamed the dog on many things, including tough sessions on the online slots. But blaming the dog on a DUI is definitely a first.

Wake up and smell the flowers
A $140,000 win last week at Win A Day Casino is making a wish come true for a player who’s always dreamed of having her own flower shop. Lizzie J won $140,461 on August 3rd playing the game-show-inspired Win A Fortune slot machine.
The jackpot winner, known as SWEETGAL on the site, says the first thing she’ll do is pay off her credit card debt and then she’ll make a personal dream come true.
“I’ve always dreamt of opening my own flower shop,” said the winner. “I never really thought it would be possible but now it is! I still can’t believe it!”
The win was announced yesterday on Win A Day’s Facebook page and congratulatory messages from fellow players have started pouring in: “Congrats” “Wow, I can only imagine…” “Way to go SWEETGAL!”
Win A Day’s progressive jackpot can be won on any of its slots games but this is the first major jackpot win on Win A Fortune, which only launched last fall. Win A Fortune brings the thrills of America’s favorite television game show to an exciting new one-of-a-kind slot machine.
