in a semi shady way OKAY a really shady way

a LONG time ago


father forgive me for i did sin

i don't gamble but i'm very good at finding money on the street. once i found a $50 bill, and there have been TWO times in my life where i've found a bunch of $20 bills on the sidewalk. once i found $120 and the other time i found over $200. god bless drunk people.

I'm the same. I don't gamble - so I'll never win money that way - and occasionally I'll buy a lottery ticket (if that isn't classed as gambling). But I've never even won a tenner.

But I have found money on the street several times.

The only things I have ever won in my entire life are a book about lifeboats when I was ten and a stuffed cuddly giant tomato at a jumble sale.

Ask me tomorrow, I plan on winning 29 Million Euro later today.

I've won money playing cards, the most was prolly $150.
We have the casinos here, but I don't have the money to gamble much there.I just play enough to get the Player's Club Card perks- free drinks, concert tickets, ect.
I went there with a friend once who got a $3,000 pay off from a slot machine.
He put in around $500 to get it.

Just over 23,000 Euros about two years ago, that was the total winnings over a long weenend in Monaco bewteen 4 of us.

The most I lost was $6000 last month at black jack I plan on winning it back.

The only gambling I do is scratch tickets, and I only buy them when I'm feeling lucky. Most of the time I win 10 or 20 bucks, but once I won $100 on a $1 ticket.

I won $980 last December on an on-line gambling site (college basketball).

A month ago, I match 4 out of 5 numbers on a $100,000 ticket and won $300.

I gamble very little, less than $80 a month, and have pretty much broken even.

I won $5,000 on a quarter slot machine.

I won $1200 on a penny slot machine.

Only one right number again! If somebody else got the damn lottery jackpot, I'll go berserk!

2025.00

500$.

I was one digit off from winning 74 million in the lotto.

At Bingo there is a game where you pick 7 numbers from 1 - 75 and I wrote down my numbers and had the first 6 numbers out I was thinkin why couldn't that be the lottery!

I have been one digit off winning 10,000.00 three different times at bingo

I wouldn't survive that.

actually, i just remembered something i won. i won a copy of the 'stage' CD reissue from bowienet for guessing some 7" single covers correctly.

I won $1650 in a class action suit once.

Had to spend 28 hours in jail to get it though.

$150 in gift cards to four different local restaurants.

$5. And I think that was the only thing I've ever won. Period...

You owe me $50

I just checked my mail and I found a gift certificate for 36 hamburgers and a boatload of fries from White Castle that I won from a radio station. Now if I only liked White Castle

As for winning. Me and Amy won 400 lottery tickets last year which amounted to 215 in cash with which we bought one airline ticket. I won a framed Prince picture online once, and I won a very rare and valuable signed Kirby Pucket bat (the rare Carew model) at Twins Fest once).

I have certainly lost way more then I have ever won at casinos and through gambling.

I play cards with my friends a lot but we keep the stakes pretty low.

I once one Fl. 1000,00 with the Lotto (before the euro was introduced ) so now that would be 454 euro's or $576
