I just can't believe it...
Some of you know that I had to go & pick up the $1500 I won in the casino's promotion. Well we went up Thursday night as planned and drove into a really nasty storm...had all of us on the edge of our seats! I popped $200 into a $5 machine once I collected the $1500 and on the 5th spin I got a $7200 jackpot
!!!
So apparently karma is still on my side and we are going up again tonight...we have to take a long detour since the road we normally take up is now closed, but I figure we may as well go with flow...because once the machines cycle out it's going to be all downhill from there.
