/blogentry/19030 angelm's Blog: Poor Jack whittaker en-us Lottery Post RSS Generator /blogentry/19030#c72446 /blogentry/19030#c72446 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 03:44:45 GMT fastball 9 Great article from Don McNay.

I like his humor, but you can see through as he talks about jack Whittaker. Jack did it his way, which didn't turn out that well. As they say, a lot of cash can magnify your personal shortcomings. Jack appears to have had quite a few. I hear that Jack has been trying to live the quiet life now, although he still maintains significant business activities in and near his home in western West Virginia. He owns used car lots, payday loan stores, race tracks, dollar-type stores, places to eat and, of course, his construction company to name a few.

Tha's good, as his drinking was getting him into a lot of problems with, as Don noted, strippers and the likes. I hope he has some happiness in his remaining time. I feel bad for him, but, he is trying to redeem himself.

Have to agree with that.... [ More ]
