My cousin was obsessively playing a fishing game on his phone during our weekend barbecue. I mocked him for gambling at a family event, but the graphics looked genuinely amusing. He showed me the exact game on Lobstermania, and I secretly tried it later that night. The cartoon lobster theme is ridiculous but oddly charming. I deposited a small amount just to mess around. The first few minutes were brutal, as the lobster traps kept coming up empty. I was down to my last five dollars and laughing at my own stupidity. Then I hit the bonus picker round, where you choose traps to reveal prizes. I picked the absolute worst looking trap on the screen, and it contained the golden lobster. That single pick multiplied my bet by two hundred and fifty times. Cashing out that unexpected windfall made me the real winner of the barbecue weekend in Canada.
