This story was a good puzzle for the reader. Since George was in the setting of the Casino it could be assumed his finding a single quarter would mean he won a jackpot. Surprise to us, the setting was just a coincidence. This was great.

What I love about this is that I kind of expected that coin to win him a jackpot. If you think about it, this guy is possibly a gambling addict, or at least he's not making all the best decisions, so I would have been happy for him until and unless I really reflected on it. (If you have a problematic relationship with gambling and you win a bunch of money on your last roll, you're just gonna turn around and lose it all I suppose, the victim of a deepening addiction.)
Your ending was vastly better. The guy's still a loser at the end of the story, but he's alive. Clever and thought-provoking.

Luck comes in all forms. I like to think that beyond luck, God was trying to show George, in a very alarming way, just how fortunate he was. Excellent writing.

This is a well done presentation for the '100 Word Dash' writing prompt. I was expecting a different ending but I really loved the one you wrote. This is a good and clever write.
