A book from a big winner.

John Tippen the 1996 winner of the slot Mega Bucks has written a book about his experience, He won 12 million dollars and decided to go public with it.

He explains what happened to him after the media got ahold of the story. I am not surprised that people were banging down his door trying to get a piece of his pie.

Wouldn't it be nice to win that kind of money. I would settle for a couple of thousand. I love the slots machines. They are my absolute favorite and I would like to get a look at the Mega Bucks machine.

I would not tell anyone that I had won if I hit that much money. I would share some of it but people would not know where I got it so they wouldn't risk spilling the beans.

I guess that's why your name here is nutforslots. You are nuts for slots by the sound of it.

I usually go around to several of the slot machines I like to play; quarter, nickel and penny machines.

This sounds like a person who doesn't like big spending, but those penny slots can give a good payout. I won $500 on a penny machine on my first spin several years ago, and it was one of my favorite machines.

Yeah it would be hard winning that much money....(well sorta) the part about everyone begging from ya.

If I won that much I would pay off all bills, house and all! and then set my mom up with a house. well...would probably just pay ours off..let her have it....and build me a new one.

I would put alot into some sorta savings...and live off intrest, if i could....

What would you all do with a big win???

Considering what happened to the author, I would firstly change my name and move, lol!

Then I would look into investing 2/3rds smartly, based on my own decisions. I would take time and do the research, I wouldn't trust anyone to do it for me.

The rest would go to mortgage, debts, building or buying a house and boosting my business.

Oh, and I'd get a condo in Vegas of course!
