What a loser.
He was already rich. And won a bit more than $245K:
On December 25, 2002, West Virginia building contractor Andrew Jackson “Jack” Whittaker Jr. (pictured above right) won $315 million in the Powerball multi-state lottery, at that time the largest jackpot in history won by a single person. Whittaker, already worth an estimated $17 million at the time, famously pledged 10% of his winnings to various Christian charities and created the Jack Whittaker Foundation with another $14 million.
