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.
