I won two tickets to Les Miserables when it was in Washington DC on its first national tour.
DH and I love to play the slots at the casino in Tampa, and I was playing 30 credits (60 cents) on a two-cent Quick Hit machine when I hit f0r $3,001. with six platinum quick hit symbols. I had just lowered my bet from 90 credits as I wasn't hitting and my money was going too fast! We gave each DD a "chunk of change," put most of the rest in the bank, and went back the next day to play again with what was left - after all, it was "found money." $3000 was considerably more than we took to play with, assuming we'd lose it. I thought, what the heck, I'll try that machine again. And what do you know - I hit again, this time for $2,400. Cashed out, rounded up DH and went home.
