Has anyone ever hit a big jackpot? I once won over $200 from $2, and I thought that was huge, and I have never come close to that again. How much have some of you won from gambling?

I have never hit the really big jackpots but I have won some big sums; I have to also say that I have lost gambling, too, so I guess winning big sums may not always balance off the losses. That being said I think the biggest win I ever got from one spin on a slot machine was something like $500 or so; I think it was like $512 or something like that. I hit 4 reels of stacking wilds with a final reel of random symbols on a machine in Vegas. The most I have ever won in one sessions was $3,200 in poker, playing seven card stud and then Texas Hold'em, also in Vegas. I think that took about 5 hours of straight playing though, but it was definitely worth it considering I had only started with $150 to buy in. I finished 4th in a tournament, cashed out with $500 or so, and then bought into tables to raise it to $3,200. The sad part is that after playing for a while I had it up over $4,000, but then dropped once again to the final total of $3,200. I still would like to hit a big jackpot, just once. The odds against it are enormous, but it would definitely be interesting.

Sounds like you have done fairly well. There will always be wins and losses.

that is not bad for a small earning.

I've never gambled before, but love the thrill of watching people gamble! My friend won around US50 before from playing at the casino though. It was super exciting.. just being the audience!

well, i am not into gambling. but i won several times in lottery. i think there are people who are lucky to have more winnings than others. i know a friend who won major prizes in lotteries and other betting.
