My First Big Win... But Now I'm Nervous About What's Next

So, I’m still kind of reeling from what happened last weekend. I’ve only been dabbling in slots for a couple of months, mostly small bets to get a feel for things. I’d read a bit online about picking games with higher RTP and sticking to a budget, so I thought I had a decent handle on it. Last Saturday, I was playing this one slot game—nothing fancy, just a random pick—and I hit a bonus round. Next thing I know, the screen’s flashing, and I’ve won $2,500. Two thousand five hundred bucks! I was shaking, couldn’t believe it.
But here’s the thing: now I’m freaking out. Like, is this a fluke? Should I keep playing that game or try something else? I’ve got this urge to chase that feeling, but I’m also terrified of blowing it all. I’ve heard stories about people getting hooked after a big win, and I don’t want to be that guy. I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of plan—like setting aside half the money and only betting with the rest—but I’m second-guessing everything. Anyone else been through this? How do you stay smart after a win like that?
