Oddly, it can work the other way too, occasionally. My 92-year-old MIL was in an upscale nursing home for several years before she passed. She had all of the deficits one might expect of someone that age, except one: she was a phenomenal bingo player. Bingo was a popular daily activity there and it was played for cash prizes, gathered without deduction from the fee each player paid per game. My MIL won most games, playing five or more cards simultaneously. She would walk (or hobble) away each day with a considerable sum, which she would donate to the Catholic Church whenever the priest came by each week to see her. Eventually, the families of the other residents began to wonder where their parent’s money was going, and when they found out, it was a bit of a scandal.
That’s funny. The Granny Gambler. 😆
