Good for her! I won 25 bucks this month, but that's it. I play two dollars twice a week. Come on, big bucks, no whammies.

I don't think I'd want everyone to know i just got 800 large.

Ditto - the prize would go unclaimed for a week or so until I set up some kind of front to keep people from knowing it was me.
