I don’t gamble because I have the attention span of a gnat for games.

Friends of ours won $25,000 on a scratchy in the mid 70's - which back then was a considerable amount. It was the price of a house!
They spent it wisely paying off what mortgage they had remaining and built an addition on to the house. It really set them being a young family with two children and they are still living in that same house.
While other friends have won smaller amounts over the years there has not been anything like this win (not that I have heard about anyway)

My Ex-BIL's mom won $100K. Slot gambling was/is a favorite past time though.

My aunt won 1.5 million in Vegas playing progressive Wheel of Fortune. This was in the mid-90’s. Even better, she was living 50/50 Vegas and California and the week prior to her win she finally switched her residence to Vegas and got her Nevada DL so she didn’t have to pay Ca state tax! Double win!!!

Hubby won about $12,000AUD at the races once. We used the money to pay for our IVF which resulted in my DD who is now 19.
