There are life-changing progressive jackpots, but the chances of ever winning are so great that millions of players will never score any in their lives. But many players see all their gambling as a cost of entertainment and don't really count on winning anything in the long run. If you have money to play and you can look at your gambling as fun, then, in any case, try to hit the big progressive jackpot. As a side note, there’s nothing wrong with gambling as a party or gambling while trying to find an advantage against casinos.
