I was by no means a collector and I could kick myself for doing this. Makes me cringe. Here goes nothing...
I was playing craps at Southern Belle in Tunica about a month after they opened. I took a break to use the restroom and on the way back I hit a $1 slot for $4000. I decided to play $1000 of it on the dice game and take the rest home. (I'm generaly a VERY small player) Some guy rolled for about 30 minutes and I had a good buzz, and a nice rat-hole of purple. Well, I cashed out and went home happy. The next winter I found a nice pretty purple in my jacket pocket. The casino was closed and they were not cashing out anything. So.. I drilled a hole in it and put it on my keychain. It broke off and I lost it about a year later. I wish I did that a little different!
