So I had won $10.00 on a scratch-off a week or so ago. I said to my friend, cash this in and buy another card or two. Any winnings we would share 50/50.

She called me up yesterday, we won $100.00 so $50.00 each. That's the most I ever won doing a Scratch-off.

What were your best ever gambling or competition winnings?

      If you put $20.00 into a slot machine and went $3.00 up on it then you are a winner.

          Pretty much any reasonable sized ship aside from Disney. Plus you don't pay tax on your large winnings as long as you are in international waters when you play. Slot wins of just over $1,200.00 are liable for tax when you play in land based casino's.

            Only thing I hate about casinos is when you are losing it's just no fun at all. Miserable really.

            When you are winning you can get euphoric.

            The thing I do to minimize these up and downs is to allocate a certain dollar amount usually $200 and I will lose no more than that. That's my limit usually for each day

    Just because we were in Las Vegas, Cheryl and I would put $10 each in the slots, until we were out of the $10.

    My Brother-in-law and Cheryl's Sister took us to a casino once, and I played the slots with a silver dollar. I won $300. That was it. Never again. I was ahead. I bought us all a nice dinner.

    My Brother-in-law, at the time we were there, lost nearly $1,000 playing Blackjack.

    Casinos love...love gamblers with guaranteed systems for winning.

    I think that $150 on the electronic pokies a long time ago was about the best l got back over several days before losing it.

    I was sitting in the bar at a casino in Las Vegas.

    A man who looked homeless, and like he hadn't washed his hair in a year, plopped a dollar in a slot machine and won $5,000.

    Right there, he could have changed his life. Right then.

    The next morning, when I walked through the casino...he was still there, he was so drunk he could barely stand...and he was down to his last few dollars...and still playing.

    And I wondered how many times a day stories like that happened.



    Oh, when I was about 12 years old, I entered an art contest and won a set on Tonka Trucks. I really enjoyed them.

    In 2021, I ponied up $10 for a 50/50 raffle at a high school football game and won $1,400. Does that count?

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      You won, so of course. I went to a school open day and chanced on a raffle table that was down to it's last few items and matching tickets. A prize every time.

      Years ago, I was on a webinar with a reasonably famous UK internet guru. He said it would be a late night party. It was a darkened kitchen where he was keeping it down because his wife had gone to bed.

      He had a competition where you emailed him answering a question. He would pick out 5 at random and paypal them $100.00. So I got $100.00 within the hour.

    Congrats on your big win, that's awesome! I remember when I won $50 on a scratch-off and I was over the moon, so I can only imagine how you feel winning $100! As for me, I'm not much of a gambler, but I did recently place a bet on the Champions League at https://www.ufazbet.com and won $5000! It was definitely a thrilling experience and I can see how people get hooked on gambling. But it's important to always gamble responsibly and within your means.

    Congrats on your $50 win! Winning any amount of money is always a great feeling. As for me, my best win was at a local casino where I won $500 playing blackjack. It was an awesome experience and I felt like a high roller for a little while! I've also won a few smaller prizes from lottery tickets, but nothing quite as exciting as winning big at the casino. Have you tried playing at any 안전 슬롯사이트 online? Sometimes you can win big from the comfort of your own home! Online gambling is a great way to make some additional money for you. Good luck and happy gambling!
