Had a great night, last night...
Well I got the urge to go up north to the casino last night...and hit a $15,000 jackpot on a 3 coin dollar machine. Within 15 minutes of getting there I hit a handpay for $2,160 and after playing for about an hour decided to move. I was on my way to play a machine I play frequently, but stopped in front of a different bank of machines...a little voice in my head told me to play this one machine I'd never played before, I had ran $60 in tokens through the machine, had $45 in credits racked up on the machine and hit the jackpot!!! Couldn't believe my eyes and had to do a double take
!
Quite the night, by the time all was said and done I came home $14,540 richer and had a great time to boot...dh even won for a change...course the little beggar didn't give me back the $400 I had given him to gamble with...lol.

Ah, what am I going to do with my winnings...put, 4.6% away for next years state taxes, already gave our contractor a sizeable payment this morning towards getting my kitchen remodeled (finally), put 25% in my savings account and the rest I will keep to go to the casino again sometime later this month or next.
