A slot machine player hit the jackpot and then lost it all in a matter of moments at Wind Creek casino, Pennsylvania State Police said.

The 40-year-old man from New York City was playing a machine the afternoon of June 30, when hit the jackpot at the Bethlehem casino and won $1,956.

Except after winning, the man left the machine and did not grab the printed voucher he would need to cash out, troopers said.

Instead, a thief took the voucher and cashed it out at a kiosk, troopers said.
