Have you ever had such a great win that you've been able to treat yourself to something really great?
Can you imagine being able to just book a holiday one day?!

Best I've had recently was enough to take the other half out for a decent meal at a good restaurant. It might not be a lot by some people's standards, but it really was a big treat for us.

I did win enough the first time I tried online slots to take me and the Mrs away on a weeks holiday ;D

We had already booked th holiday and we were about due to pay it off when I got the hit so it was great timing.

What, seriously? You bought a house with your gambling winnings?
Oh my god that is AMAZING!! That's the kind of thing the rest of us can only dream of.
If I get a free night out from my winnings I feel like I've done well!

It can be done, in saying that I don't live lavishly or own a top end car, just a small house and an up to date Mitsubishi Lancer. I donate a lot to charity.

No kidding, Red! I get all excited when I get comped a room!

Nowun, I don't care how frugally you're living, I think it's great that you're debt free with your winnings.

That really is awesome! I try to strike a balance between doing something fun and saving it. So, I usually put some away and use the rest for a trip or a fancy dinner out, depending on the amount won.

Nowun, it is so nice to hear that you are not only a lucky winner but a philanthropist as well. Whichever way anyone chooses to achieve it, living a debt-free life is just the best thing that could ever happen. The end justifies the means, after all.
