Quoted from frolic:the "real" number is likely much higher than this as well. This is big money, no way he's keeping real accounting for it.
Exactly. You only have to read the small print to realize that it takes an idiot to play high stakes on lottery tickets. Scratch offs make the slot machines at Indian casinos look like a sound investment for your kid's college funds. The fact that he spent so much to win that $200K means there is a huge problem hidden there. Where there is smoke there is fire and I would not be surprised if that whole payout check has not already been turned over to creditors and the rest to his local 7-11 for more lottery tickets.
At least now it seems like we finally know why this guy has been ripping people off so much for so long.
