I was just killing time between shifts at the hospital, figured I'd play twenty bucks before heading home. My hands were still shaking from a double shift and I wasn't even paying that close attention when the machine started going crazy. I looked up and saw those sevens line up, then the numbers kept climbing. I literally had to sit down in the chair next to me because my legs felt like jelly. My coworker came by ten minutes later and found me still staring at the screen. I'm putting most of it toward my daughter's college fund, but I'm taking my wife on that anniversary trip we've been talking about for three years.

I was down about two hundred bucks and my buddy kept telling me to walk away, but the dealer was fresh and I had a good feeling. Played fifteen hands straight and somehow just kept winning—hitting on sixteen and catching faces, the dealer busting over and over. By the time I cashed out, I couldn't beleive what the number said on the ticket. I actually handed it to my friend and asked him to read it back to me because I thought I was misreading it. That money paid off my truck early and got us a decent down payment for the house we've been looking at.

I'd been playing poker casually for fifteen years but never entered a tournament before—my brother basically dared me to sign up. Made it through four tables and I was running pure card dead, thought I was done after three hours. Then I got the luckiest rush in the final table, hit two flushes and caught someone overplaying their hand. Final hand came down to me and one other player, I had pocket aces and called his all-in without thinking. He had quenes and didn't improve. My hands were shaking so bad I could barely sign the documentation. I quit my job two weeks later and now I play poker full time.

My husband passed away eight months before and I was having a really rough week—his birthday would've been that Saturday. I went to the casino just to get out of the house and be around people, honestly. I put fifty dollars on red seventeen because that was his favorite number, not expecting anything at all. When that ball landed exactly where I put the chips, I started crying right there at the table. The pit boss came over asking if I was okay and I couldn't explain it properly, I just kept saying it was his number. I used that money to finally take that trip to Costa Rica he always wanted us to do together.

I was visiting from out of state and my cousin insisted I try her lucky machine—said she'd hit decent money on it twice. I told her that wasn't how slots worked but figured why not, played a hundred dollars and was down to my last spin. Got six buffalo symbols and the whole screen lit up like Christmas. I didn't know whether to laugh or yell so I kind of did both and freaked out everyone around me. Used half to cover some medical bills and took the other half to finally replace my ancient HVAC system.

I went for my birthday with three friends and we were just messing around playing different games for fun. None of us are serious gamblers—we were mostly drinking and laughing. I sat down at three card poker because I liked the name and honestly didn't understand all the rules. Hit a straight flush on my sixth hand and the whole table went silent for a second before my friends started screaming. I thought something was wrong until the dealer explained how much that paid out. I bought everyone dinner that night and invested the rest in my business equipment.
