When Powerball was first introduced in Indiana, I bought a $1 ticket and won $100. quit playing after that win. But, at Marriott in San Juan on morning of a Saturday checkout I stopped in casino at the hotel and kept winning at a $1 machine. Won so much I had to gather more buckets for the coins. Ended up having to get two attendants to help me carry 5 full bucket to cashier. Over $1,100 cash. (Wife chewed me out for being late back to room for our noon checkout! Which goes to show you just can't win.)
