Lucky!!

Have you ever seen the movie "The Cooler"?? Where the casino has on it's payroll, this guy who is so unlucky that he can just walk by someone that is on a lucky streak and stop it cold?? That is me - if I lived in Vegas - I'd be a Cooler. As it is, I live within 10 minutes of 2 different casinos, and we go about once a month. My MIL and my DH like to go and they can play for a long time on $20. I on the other hand, can lose $20 very quickly - and on a penny machine at that! I usually take a book to read, and once I lose, will go to the car and read while they continue to gamble.



Saturday, Mitch wanted to go to the casino, so we headed to the "big" casino to gamble and eat lunch at their buffett. Mitch headed to the machine he prefers Paddy's Luck penny machine and I hopped about from machine to machine before heading to one that actually treats me decent "Leprechauns Gold" 2 cent machine. To cover all the lines you have to do 20 lines - so that is a 40 cent bet. I played for awhile and was a bit up and down and then lo and behold - 5 pots of gold. 5,0000 credits on my 40 cent bet. $100.00 !!! I couldn't believe my luck - and you can believe that I cashed out and I kept the receipt for $128.00 - the most I've ever won in my life and probably the most I'll ever win. But for once it was nice to not be The Cooler :)
