When something great happens, we just have to share it!
I put in the appropriate amount of change, typed in the assigned number (305), and pressed the “Select” button. As I waited the spiraling of the dispenser stimulated my salivating taste buds. When the spiral had reached the end of the shelf, Woohoo! TWO packages of peanut M&M’s fell into the dispensing tray. I HAD to take a picture of my vending machine jackpot. (There is no better inspiration for a post than free candy.)
Great things happen in our lives everyday. Surprises and blessings occur when we least expect them. Keep your heart and mind open to recognizing these “jackpots.”
I shared my winnings with my friend Christina. Sharing my story and the candy was my second double bonus of the day.
If you find yourself with a vending machine jackpot, a lucky penny in the parking lot, or stumbling across a shareable success, double your money and deal out some luck to someone else. Be sure to share your loot with someone who could use a win. 😉
Have you ever hit a vending machine jackpot? What did you win? How did you celebrate your victory?

P.S. The candy really did just fall out. I did not shake the machine or anything.
P.P.S. Personally, I am scared to shake vending machines because I am afraid they will set off an alarm and everyone will know I was trying to rob the vending machine.

Actually, I did once have a major vending machine jackpot.
Once in college there was a vending machine in the dorm basement. It was clearly malfunctioning. I put money in and got my treat, but then for the heck of it pushed the return money button and not only did my money come back (after getting the treat), but several other peoples’ money too. I kept repeating and more money kept coming. I was so excited! I was bad, though. I should have reported the machine broken and returned the money, but I didn’t.

I was a bad bad girl at the time, but I suppose I earned enough to make up for all of the money I’ve lost in vending machines over the years. That’s how I forgive myself for the thievery.
