As Polly related in her post---yup I did win $100,345.00 @ a poker table called Caribbean Stud----5 card stud~~~~~
It looks like a regular BJ table and U get 5 cards and either play them or say and them in----
The dealer gets 5 also---and flips over 1--now U decided if your hand is good enuf to double ya bet or play and lose--
Its a no brainer game----Robert always luved to play it---so Lou and I sat down and played---table 13~~~~~
We didnt know it was a Progressive game so I had no idea what the jackpot was---
I had lost $100.00 and said* thats it*----Lou says *cont be cheap---keep playing--
After 2 more hands I get dealth 10--J---Q---K---A (in Xactly that order) of DIAMONDS-- I say---Lou says I think U won about $2000.00--
Then I am smiling----the other table players say * U got a good hand* *yup I do* and when the dealer turns over the cards she is grinning and I am looking like
She says to me* Have U any idea what U won*?
Well $2,000.00 I believe---
Then with her finger she points up---and there on the rotating tele-tape machine says *WINNER @ table 13--$100.345.00*
I was shakin like a leaf---everybody was yelling and yipping---
Our friends were walking back to us---and Kathy saw the crowd and asked someone *what happened? Guy says the *lady* sitting # the table just won the jack-pot---she grabs John and says it must be *barbara*
And she hands me a bag of peanuts that she bought for me---and we laughed and cried--
The best part of the story---was that the following week my son was getting married and U KNOW that this *win* was meant to be~~~
So peoples that was the Xcitement that I Xperienced---
When I called my kids---they said *yeah, I bet* but when they heard the Xcitement in my voice they were flippin----
They wanted to know what I was treating myself to-----well I always wanted that Umbrella, which was totally a copy of one of Monets prints, but was always too cheap to spend $35.00 on an umbrella----
Thats me cheep---cheep---cheep----*lol*
Did I ever buy the umbrella???? NO!!!!!
So this was my Xciting day @ the casino----I got the check---got the cards and got the W2Form right then and there
Luv Barbara

GOOD EVENING
POLLY----yup was in AC @ the Showboat---
And this is even outrageous-----the pit boss and a guard brought over all that $$$$ in CHIPS---
Of course the denomination of the chips were not your five and dime size---but here they were all piled up and then Lou and John---(without any security) had to take them to the cashier to get the $$$$ amount in a check!!!
Can U believe that one!!!!
They looked over each card---spread them out--flipped them over---!!!like I had hidden cards up my sleeve!!!! surprised they didnt do a strip search--hahahaha!!!!! @ that point I wouldnt have felt a thing!!!
To add my son and DIL received a very nice wedding check
I thought maybe DIL would buy me that umbrella
Anyhoo thats the story-----
I'd luve to recapture that feeling again!!!!
luv to all and now tis a
till the *morrow*
keep a smile-
