Henry Gribbohm says he lost his life savings, $2,600, on a carnival game and all he has to show for it is a stuffed banana with dreadlocks.
“You’re expecting the kids to win a few things, let the kids have a good time,” said Gribbohm. “It just didn’t turn out that way.”
Gribbohm says he attended a Manchester carnival run by New Hampshire-based Fiesta Shows and wanted to win an Xbox Kinect at a game called Tubs of Fun where contestants toss balls into a tub.

He dropped $300 in just a few minutes, then says he went home to get $2,300 more and soon lost all of that as well.
Henry says he went back the next day to complain, and the man running the game gave him back $600. Henry split with the banana and the cash, and filed a report with the Manchester Police Department.
Gribbohm says he is considering a lawsuit.
“For once in my life I happened to become that sucker,” said Gribbohm. “It was foolish for putting up my life savings.”
