Re: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life?
When I started gambling a few years ago, I won a pretty big amount of money and that opened new doors for me to pursue new business ventures. Some of these ideas panned out and some flopped miserably, but I still managed to generate some money from the the ventures that were successful.
I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.
I still gamble, but not as much as I did before... because time management has become an issue. This will not secure my retirement, but it gives me some freedom to experiment with more ideas. (I still need to work between 8 to 10 hours per day.... and weekends, but I have something to fall back on, if something bad happens)
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.

I haven't had any big winnings from gambling so far, which is why I haven't been able to change my life financially yet. I have gambled for a few days but only lost, that's why I gave up on myself, I think I never had a big win in my luck. Since I don't have good luck in gambling, I don't go to any casino to lose money, instead I use that money in my daily work. It's possible that you've had a great fortune since you've had great financial success gambling early on and are still living with that money. I think gambling depends a lot on a person's luck, and you were lucky enough to win big in the beginning. But I don't have any big win that made me much successful financially, but I hope that maybe in future I can get something good but not from prayer but from any other means. To improve financially in the future, of course, work is required, but I feel that if I put money into gambling, I may not get it back, but I will keep losing, so I do not like gambling so much.
