I'm a little annoyed right now. My Aunt just informed me that she has won Bingo for the 3rd time this month. We play High Stakes Bingo at Foxwoods Casino here in Connecticut.
Well, she just called and told me that she won $1700.00 tonight.. And she Won $600 on Friday.. (a night I normally would have went with her...but I chose to go to a Free concert at the other casino in our state) And a few weeks ago when I went with her she won $1500.00...
The reason this annoys me is that it always seems the people who don't NEED the money are the ones that win(luck into) it. She Retired a couple years ago and still brings home more than I do... after I work for 40 hours.
No she wins in one month more than I take home in 3 months.. something is not fair.. I think I must have some bad Karma from another life?
I think I should quit my job and go to play bingo everyday.. LOL
Do you play games that make you money? Or do you know Lucky people like this?

Although I've me quite a few people who seem to be lucky that way, I refuse to believe that they would be that lucky everyday, or every month. That's the only way I could rationalize why I work 40 hours a week.
Maybe if I come into money, and wouldn't need any more, and don't have any responsibilities anymore, then I could just play regularly and make it look as if I'm always winning too.

You may have bad Karma but it sounds as if this woman has alot of good luck! I think luck comes in cycles. If you play at any gambling game continuously and learn your cycles then you may have better luck! I quit the lottery years ago. There is too many people playing now.

Hi minx! I know what you mean!lol If I were there I probably would
have been the only one to not win too! I am never lucky and think
I have bad Karma from another life too (wonder what I could have
done)?
I haven't been to Foxwoods yet, but have
friends that have, but not to play Bingo. And I have 2 friends who
go to Empire City here in Yonkers, NY where I live and have won
money quite a few times. I still haven't even gone there yet and
it's about a ten minute ride from here. I have been to Atlantic
City, NJ and lost whatever money I had with me! Like I said-
not lucky at all

Yea, that's me in a nutshell. Pretty unlucky.
Unfortunately.. Foxwoods and Mohegan sun are only about 45 minutes from home.. so they are tempting.. And they steal my money often.. It's a rarity to leave there ahead...
The bingo is the only thing that is worth it.. but of course you have to walk by all those slots to get to them. :)

That is crazy! I have never known anyone that lucky playing bingo! Wow! I know a few people who go to the casino's and win money on slot machines everytime they go! One friend's boyfriend always comes home with like $300.00 or more every time they go!
I was to a casino once and just spent $20.00 on the slot machines until it was gone! I do buy scratch off lottery tickets once in awhile and Power Ball. With the scratch off I win maye a a dollar or two. Nothing big! Some people just darn lucky! Wish they could some of that off on me! LOL!

Well, here at the casino Bingo is played on sheets of paper and we use an ink bingo dauber to dab the numbers as they are called, and as one game is finished the used sheet is ripped off and discarded and the next game starts on a fresh sheet.
It cost as little as $10 for the cheapest games (depends on the day) with an average of $15-$25 to play for about for or 5 hours... the expensive games can be a $500 buy in. (those are usually special days like The New years game) -but those games pay THOUSANDS of dollars to the winners.
I usually go when the casino offers points back.. then what money I spend on the game I usually get some points to put back on my card or I can just use the points accumulated from the previous visit to pay.. therefore my game is actually free and I could still win hundreds or thousands of dollars with out spending anything.

I used to work with someone like that...
Whenever she needed money she'd go to the casino and play $20 or something like that and then win $1000.
Must be uncomfortable sitting down with that golden horseshoe up their butts...

More like I play games that win me money just often enough for me to go back and lose money... Nope, I don't know anybody who is lucky like that.

I seem to know a few people like that... but they aren't me.. I've won a couple of times.. One time.. was lucky enough to win $1199.00 at bingo.. but as luck would have it that was not even enough to cover the transmission I was having put in my car at that time.. But it did help.. lol
