Top dollar: Jackpot!

I'm not a natural gambler. Well who really is, right? But there have been a few lucky people in my life who were fortunate enough to be granted a piece of Las Vegas' fortune through slot machines. Like my husband's friend who leaves Las Vegas with more money than he started with almost every single time. And another friend who won $1000 right next to me with twenty dollars while I had been feeding my machine for at least ten minutes. We hugged and screamed like little girls as people started surrounding us. I was on cloud nine! And it wasn't even me who won, I was just excited for my friend.

The first two nights in Las Vegas were very pleasant, except I wasn't doing so well at the tables or machines. I won some, lost some but was inevitably headed toward another losing streak. Friends & my husband seemed to be doing pretty well, having a good time. We had just finished a very nice Valentine's dinner and it was too early to change out of my dinner attire. I felt like a million bucks in my bright red dress after wearing nothing but black during the entire winter season and wanted to cherish that feeling for a long, long time. I jokingly told my husband that I was wearing my lucky red dress with lucky Louboutins. He chuckled and continued his gaming. I walked off since everyone seemed to be having too much fun to be bothered with my boredom.

As I was roaming around the casino floor with nothing particular in mind, my eyes zeroed in on a Top Dollar machine. It was a dollar machine with a $5 dollar maximum bet. I figured I had already lost a lot of money so what difference would another sixty dollars make?

Five minutes later, I was $1000 richer.
