Record Powerball winner's wealth may have contributed to kin's deathReply
But on Thursday, Whittaker said: All of the problems I have had are because of my granddaughter's friends, her drug-using friends. I'm going to find them and put them in jail. It's not her fault; it's the people who sold drugs because they weren't taken off the street. I don't want to point fingers when there is a dead girl in this story, but I will point the finger at Mr. Whittaker. To blame Brandi's death and all his problems on her friends and drug dealers is totally shameless. Jack Whitta

$107 million lottery winner turns out to be son of Marriott presidentReply
So another Jack Whittaker. I'm not saying he's going to lose it all like Jack did, I'm just saying Jack was also already rich when he won. I remember a doctor featured on The Lottery Changed My Life talking about how she received death treats because she was already wealthy when she won. She said she cannot change what happened. She just happened to be lucky enough to have the winning ticket. I agree with her. It is what it is. I'm sure most of us want to have the winning ticket in our hands, es
