Candy Spelling Candy Spelling rocked Vegas Friday, June 1, by winning hundreds of thousands of dollars at the slot machines.

Vegas spies tell TMZ that Spelling, whose legendary fortune is reportedly in the $600 million range, was playing the $100 slots at the Bellagio Hotel when she hit it big by winning the $100,000 jackpot! But that wasn't the end of it! Spelling kept winning -- $36,000 here, $32,000 there. She was up $325,000!!!

Candy didn't leave well enough alone. She began losing ground and at 4:30 AM Saturday, when she called it quits. Her winnings -- $200,000!!!

But wait -- there's more! On Sunday, Candy held a raffle for her Charity, L.A.'s Best (an afterschool program). The grand prize was a Prius. Candy bought tickets for everyone on her staff and kept one for herself. She won! She told TMZ, "I'm gonna drive it!"

76. Awful, she should have given her winnings to her charity. The person who's holding the raffle, should NEVER purchase a ticket, that's just ethics! She's a greedy B****

77. Candy needs to adopt a poor family devote her time to giving them a better shot at life....gambling away hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing to be proud of....

80. i TINK THE FEW COMMENTS ABOUT CANDY'S SMILE AND HOW GENEROUS SHE IS WERE WRITTEN BY, WELL, HELLO CANDY!!! WE KNOW YOU READ THIS SITE!! NICE TO SEE YOU!!!

AS FAR AS PUTTING IN THE RULES THAT BOARD MEMBERS CAN KEEP THE CAR, WELL THAT IS HIGHLY, HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. IT'S EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS THAN NOT PUTING IT IN THE RULES. IT MAKES IT LOOK ALL PRE-PLANNED. SICKENING.

CANDY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

81. Good for her! I hope she spends a little of the winnings on her new Grandson. After all, what are grandma's for?

82. I agree with #17 on you have to spend it to win it. She should not have been allowed to enter to win the car though. That's a conflict of interest.

Mean while, people are homeless, people are starving and there are kids with no health insurance........................

83. Candy-"O.K. folks,the moment we've all been waiting for,the winning ticket is..." (DRUMROLL PLEASE) "Mine!!!!" Wonder if the audience was filled with smiling,congradulating ,happy people. Just curious.

84. ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD DOES NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY. I DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY BUT I HAVE MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND WE ARE VERY CLOSE AND SHE LOVES ME VERY MUCH. I HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL GRANDCHILDREN AND I CAN SPEND TIME WITH THEM AS MUCH AS I WANT. DOES CANDY SPELLING HAVE THAT? SHE HAS TO SPEND HER TIME MAKING MORE MONEY. CALL YOUR DAUGHTER CANDY AND MAKE AMENDS WITH HER. THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, NOT MONEY!

87. being rich in a general sense , is a state of mind , I met many people with little money but happy in their ways of glory. money can buy a person a lot , but never can it buy anyone a brain that works .lolol
