The biggest gamblers losing hundreds of thousands to poker machines | 60 Minutes Australia
Aug 03 2023
How could anyone possibly lose a million dollars on the pokies? Honestly, you can't understand it, but that's what happened to Lana O'Shannassy. Outwardly, her life seemed so perfect. A good job, nice house, young family. But Lana had another, secret, life - one where she spent hours every day helplessly shovelling money into the poker machines.
And she's not alone. A hundred thousand here, three hundred thousand there, we found case after case of ordinary people who have lost everything because of their addiction to the pokies. And when you study the odds and the psychology of gambling, you see why you just can't win.
For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
