Like most SIUE students, Steve Ingrassia likes to have fun and make money, and he has found something that accomplishes both.
On Monday nights you can find Steve at the American Legion around 7 p.m. getting ready to pay the game of bingo. Steve started growing an interest in bingo when his roommates raved how much fun it was. Since then, Steve is a regular at bingo and is doing very well for himself. “I’ve probably won about five times,” said Steve. “At least some one usually wins at my table.”
Winning is the main reason Steve plays. Each bingo game usually pays out the winner $40, and at the end someone has a chance to walk away with $500. Steve has never won the maximum prize, but he has seen it happen before. He even thinks his bingo playing may come in handy once he retires. “When I get older it will be my main source of income,” said Steve jokingly.
Steve doesn’t like everything about bingo however. Some players bring good luck charms to help them win, Steve thinks this is nonsense. “It’s just weird and it doesn’t work,” said Steve. “Besides, I’ve probably won more times than them anyways.”
Steve continues to go to the American Legion every Monday night to play bingo in hopes of getting the $500 grand prize. One thing is for sure, he won’t be using any luck to get it.

Good story, but your structure for quoting Steve needs to change. Remember to generally use noun then verb when attributing quotes: "Steve said" instead of "said Steve." Watch punctuation, especially commas and periods. This, for example, is a comma splice: Some players bring good luck charms to help them win, Steve thinks this is nonsense. (Use a period instead).
