Wow! Do you have some Irish blood in you? And I thought my husband was lucky at the slots! He's won twice big in Vegas on the quarter machines. Once he won $2500 and another $1600. I told him the only reason I won that $1200 at the Indian casino was because he was my lucky charm.
Haha! No Irish, I am mostly German honestly. I go through spurts of luck it seems. I should note tho that I would go more frequently then many people would. I used to work in a casino and would often play in another one in Atlantic City. I also now live about 15 minutes from a newer casino. I don't really spend a lot there, but I don't always come out with money either. I never use more then I can afford either, quite often I play on free play
I have won the new Ipad at a fundraiser after answering the winning question a few months ago. It won at the perfect time, because a week before I was thinking about purchasing the new Ipad, but I could not afford it at the time.
An Ipad is a very nice win! Also, $192 is pretty great too. And the casino winnings are pretty impressive. I won $40 at a casino once, but it was within 2 minutes of being there so I kept playing and lost it all. Next time, I'm just taking my winnings and observing for the rest of the night.
That is the worst when you start to win when you first get there. You definitely have a better chance at spending it if you just got there. The $900 win I won on a dollar machine was literally the first spin when I walked into the casino (and it was the first time I was ever in that casino), I actually cashed out and walked up to the bar. I rarely drink so I felt a little tipsy after 2 drinks and then went for lunch. I didn't put any back in the machines! I figured those 2 drinks and the food was probably cheaper then if I stayed at the machines
I won a pager at a Coca-Cola promotion when I was 9 or so Else: - Coca-Cola soccer balls (3 of them, I think). - A backpack - some free books.
