No, but my grandmother did. She hit for around $250 (tax free). That was worth about five months' rent back in the day. That was a one-time gamble. She stopped after that. With two kids to feed, one of which was my future mom, food was more important.

Back then, the winning number was based on the last three digits of the Aqueduct handle for the day.
