What's the most you've ever won gambling or on the lottery?

[Kerfuffle]

Here's my payout wins:



1) Little lotto - got 4 of 5 numbers right. Won $100. Missed the jackpot of $827,000 by one number - doh!

2) Mega Millions - got 4 white balls correct - won $150

3) Lotto - got 4 of 6 balls correct - won $75

4) Scratch off ticket $10 - won $200

5) Scratch off ticket $10 - won $100



I don't have any have good wins at the poker slots or craps tables so just lottery wins for me. How have you done?

Most of the time I get nothing, but I did win $25 on a scratch ticket once. I don't play that often.

 

[TSD]

I don't gamble. Not even the lotto.





EDIT: Scratch that one time I bet on horse racing while at the kentucky derby. I wasn't trying to win though, I bet maybe 10 bucks total in a few races on longshots. I didn't win anything. i was there for the boobies and beer.

Not even a little Texas Hold 'Em? I do play that, but not for money. I'm pretty good though.

When I'm in Vegas, I usually play 1-2 no limit. It's nice, because the house usually rakes 7%, and I can be patient and wait for my openings. I'm no poker pro by any means, but I'm also no slouch.

The most I have pulled from a table in one sitting was $800.

Most of the time, I break even, or win between 50-100.



Other than that, I hit a royal flush on a 25 cent video poker machine and won 500.

I also hit four 4 of a kinds on a multi-play and won 200. I went to Ellis Island and had their steak dinner (1 block off of the strip).

I'm also a person that doesn't sink thousands into machines.



The first scratch off I ever played I won 100. Didn't play a scratch off until the Hawks ones came out a couple years back.

I bought $4 worth, and won $5. I stopped while I was ahead.

Na, never cared for it. The only card game I am very good at, while still relying luck is Euchre. When I was in college we played a shit ton of Euchre during downtime during the day.

Na, still based alot on luck. The only card game I am very good at, while still relying luck is Euchre. When I was in college we played a shit ton of Euchre during downtime during the day.

Euchre is great.

I'd like to get in some tournaments locally if the average age wasn't 87.

I know right. its too rare that I get together with friends and play now adays.

Don't sell yourself short, you're a tremendous slouch.

I don't gamble much at all but several years back (with the help of a friends Dad who was a track junkie) I hit two $2 trifectas at Arlington Park.

Won about $350 but blew about $75 on booze and food there.

True. It's my favorite card game, but tourneys are all sponsored by Depends.

I think my best night, I walked into a casino in Halifax Nova Scotia with $100 in my pocket, walked out with a little over $7K, playing blackjack.

Wow. That must have been a good feeling. I can't even win a free ticket.

 

[MassHavoc]

I only bet what I can afford to lose which isn't much, so I don't usually come home with much. I don't bet to win money. I consider what I lose to be a fee toward entertainment. Just like the strip club.

I was seriously on a roll that day.

I am with you. I dont gamble often, and when I do, i don't win. The wife and I had fun on a roulette table in Vegas for an hour or so, betting Hawks numbers. Ruutu paid off a couple times.



When i walk away after losing monies, I chalk it up to an entertainment fee.

 

[bri]

Doubt I'll be getting many of the Hawk tickets this year. I think they are going to be $5, but I may be wrong. Seabs isn't on them anyway.

I've won around a couple grand total at the horse races... most I won in one bet was $400 -- $2 trifecta, no box.
