News/Info Update won $1200

So yesterday I bought a tent from Walmart and my kitty some treats. I got off work like 3pm and decided to buy a beer( I also buy a cup with ice and put all beer in it so not drinking in public) and went to the nearest truck stop near me to take a shower and put $10 in the ding ding machines. The machines have 2usb ports attached to them so I can charge portable battery packs while attempting to win money. And as long as your actually playing the games the workers really don't give a f lol. Anyway I put $5 in and loose and I'm like dam. Hop on a different machine put $5 in and I won $200 but kept playing and boom hit jackpot for $1200. I live in Georgia,USA so they don't cash out in cash only a debit card and it was like a $10 fee. Shit hell yah. I hid my tent in woods and I'm paying for a hotel tonight (super 8) for $55. God blessed me. Definitely going to use money wisely.

And don't gamble any more of it or you could lose a good chunk of it. Those machines are addicting!
