Monopoly!

Jim's turn

"Seven!, Nice roll Jim!" Eileen said as Jim sailed his boat down the game board.

He as soon as he landed on the chance sqaure, a bright flash lit up every window, followed by a thunderous BOOM! that rattled the old wooden mansion.

"Ahhhhhhh!" screamed Sally.

"Wow the weather stations didn't mention anything about a thunderstorm this weekend..." said Jim

"pffft, Those weather guys never get it right!" announced Ralph, "a little thunderstorm never hurt anyone anyways, looks like you landed on chance Jim!" 

"Chance time!" an excited Eileen said in a strange high pitched squeel, followed by and embarrased look on her face when she realized the rest of the group was staring at her with their 'what planet did you come from?' look.

"Anyways...", Jim then reach for the deck of cards labeled 'chance' and took a card off the top of the deck.

"Let's see what we got here"

Jim read the card in his head with an apporving nod and smile before reading it out loud.

"Bank error, collect 200$!", he said with a giddy excitment in his voice.

"What!, let me see that!" an angry Ralph snatched the card from Jim's hand and read it to himself.

"How do you get so lucky?"  Ralph had a point.  In all of the years they played monopoly, Jim almost always won.

"It's all skill buddy!" Jim usually joked, but Sally, Eileen and Ralph were starting to believe him.

Just as Ralph was reaching for the dice, Jim's phone vibrated for about 3 seconds before the notification light began to flash.

"Who would be texting you at this hour?" inquired Eileen.  "Dunno..." replied Jim.  He picked up his phone and began reading the message.

He began reading the message, "it's not a text...". He voice trailed off and he had a confused look on his face.

The room fell silent as they all waited for Jim to respond - Sally broke the silence, "so then what is it?!"

"It's a message from my bank... it says 'due to an error in our online banking system, 200$ has been deposited in your account.  Sorry for any inconvenience'".

The whole table had a dumbfounded look on their faces.  "Well that's a wierd coincidence..."  

They all nodded in agreement, "really wierd" added Sally.

"Well... My turn!" shouted Ralph, breaking the group out of their current state of dazed bewilderment.  He reach for the dice, but before he could grab them, Sally quickly lunged out a picked the dice up yelling "ladies first!".

"but! but! whatever..." protested a defeated looking Ralph.  Everone else seemed rather amused.

The focus turned to Sally as she through the dice towards the table.
