Went to a casino w/ $100. Spent $20 at 5 different machines. Came back with $330. Next two trips I did the same and came back with $0. So I still have $30 up on South Lake Tahoe :)

Its a $1 idiot tax. Anyways, I'd rather "gamble" my money at a casino. At least thats fun and entertaining.

I won 10000 quarters from a slot machine. Thankfully, 10000 quarters didn't come shooting out of the machine.

Mega Millions this week at $256 million. I'll put in $20 and expect to get back $1 if I am lucky.

I pulled off $300 off of a single pull in slot machines. I took my 3 friends that went with me to Las Vegas to eat lobster afterwards.

play lotteries regularly, yeah, it's an idiot tax. play once in a while, like in the latest $365million powerball jackpot, i see it as making yourself available to fate.

I'd have to win more then that to treat my friends to dinner. Maybe breakfast, but not dinner.
