Big Winner!!

I won at the casino this weekend!!! YeeeeHaaaaww! We went on Friday night to celebrate my sister's 25th birthday. I had no intentions of gambling b/c I am far too stingy with my money to waste it. We went to eat and hear a band that was playing, but stepped out on the casino floor just to look around. I had $5 in my pocket, and I said "What the heck, it's only $5!" I found the nearest quarter slot machine and inserted my money. I was down to my next to last spin (and was getting frustrated with myself for wasting that money) when lights started flashing and loud buzzers began to go off! The woman next to me said "You hit!! You won!!" On the screen, the numbers were climbing and climbing...the anticipation was building. The numbers ran for what seemed like forever, and finally the machine gave me a ticket that said I had won. $345.25! From my little $5 bill.
I have never been one for casinos, but I am beginning to see the draw now!!!

That is so cool. Of course inquiring minds want to know... did it go straight into your new savings account? :P

Well, the bulk of it went into savings....I bought groceries with the rest. I didn't splurge any. I am so mature!
