Yes, several times. The biggest was somewhere around $650. We went with my old folks on an overnight bus trip to Vegas. We were told when we got there that the bus left at a certain time and would not wait, if you weren't on it, you'd be left so Darren and I kept checkin our watches just to make sure we were ready on time. We'd only taken something like $60 each with us. It was about half an hour before we were supposed to be on the bus and we had maybe $20 left between the two of us when I dropped a couple quarters in a slot machine and hit the button. I'd been sitting there thinking how the bus trip was fun but not really my thing, I'd rather spend a couple days in Vegas at the casinos of my choice and hated being rushed when the cocktail waitress stopped and congratulated me. Granted we'd been up all night and I was exhausted but until she did I didn't realize I'd hit anything and couldn't figure out how much it was. Darren came over and got all excited then told me how much it was and I got all excited and then started to get panicky because it was really time for us to head out, lol! It was the longest five minutes of my life waiting for the guy to come over and pay me my money so we could run out to the bus before it left us, lol!

I haven't won a cash prize for me that large. I did get $7,000 for our Rape Crisis hotline when I was volunteer of the year for Transamerica Corporation. And CRITTER won $400 in gift certificates when she was OCNow.com (think the site is long gone now) Pet of the Year one year.

I won 50 bucks in Merv Griffin's Atlantic City Casino on about the third coin I played in a nickle slot machine. Bells went off (you'd have thought I won the jackpot, lol)and they came over and handed me the cash, but that's the most exciting prize money I ever won. So that means - NO. But 50 bucks for 15 cents works for me. Vin and I immediately went out to the Boardwalk and bought a whole raft of souvenir cheapie teeshirts (with my winnings) for my friends and that was that. I also won a raffle where I could buy anything up to a hundred dollars at an office supply/furniture store. So I bought this really cool ergonomic desk chair. Its got a button on the side that when pushed, feeds air into it so my back is supported with a cushion of air. I am sitting in it as I type. (I have a drape over it, as its covered in more cat hair than my cats, and 1/2 a wheel is gone, but it still works, thank heavens.) But it wasn't over 100 bucks...So... NO again!

My sister makes a broccoli salad that I could just sit in a corner and eat myself. In fact, several times I have.
