    I once hit jackpot on a slot machine (actually my girlfriend did, but I was totally standing *right there*). Nickel slots; $60. We were rolling in nickels.

    I'm trying to remember if i ever actually won anything. Unless scratch off tickets count. I've "won" a buck or two there.

    Probably totally undeserved.
