Dp you see the hypocrisy that he is a devout Muslim and is not allowed to gamble and he actually swore off gambling but bought a ticket anyway. He should have given the ticket back because he is not a hypocrite. A dead hypocrite but still a hypocrite in my book.

When you win the big one trusts and LLCs are your friend if you want your whereabouts to remain a secret.

She doesn't hate me she just loves money. And the spite comes from her inability to be happy for the good fortune of others. She leaves me alone now because AFA she knows I don't have a great life. But if I were to come into money or a huge promotion or if something else great happened in my life, she would decide I didn't deserve happiness and do her best to make sure I'm as miserable as possible. She's done it before, and not just to me. She's even done it to one of her own kids. That's just h... [ More ]

HoLeeKau,

I'm in the same exact boat, with one of my siblings, as you are.

One of the sibs has threatened to kill me, and another one is more of a deceitful liar,

and has often sided with the other one, in the most ridiculous things.

And, I did the same thing with my will, as you did (or propose to do) !

I actually have a directive in there, for the authorities to investigate them for murder first, when I die.

Other things in there too, to keep it iron clad, like you've pr... [ More ]

It's a shame how some families can be torn apart by money.

the police aren't investigating this as they are too busy pretending to investigate other cases. lucky if they ever spend 10 minutes investigating any case. they just sit around and laugh and joke about crime victims and only worry about their detail assignments and hope they don't fall asleep on their regular shift.

Yes, I have a sister who would kill me in a heartbeat if she thought she could get $25K by doing it. I'm already estranged from her, so if I were able to remain anonymous, I'd have no worries. She wouldn't find out. But since I can't, I'd have to draft an iron clad will specifically leaving her out, and send it to her to make sure she knows she couldn't profit by my death. She's so spiteful, she might still try to make my life a living hell, but probably not kill me.... [ More ]

I guess this takes the idiom of MAKE A KILLING to a new level.

Someone in his family did this to him since as the story reports... Though the increasingly devout Muslim had sworn off gambling after a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, Khan bought a scratch-off lottery ticket at a 7-Eleven near his home in June 2012 .

According to an unrelated article, we consume cyanide every day, but not at poisonous levels.

No such thing exists. The closest thing to one, a polygraph, is so ineffective and prone to error that it isn't admissible in court.

Aw, come on.

Somebody knows something about this.

Now who did it? I really need to know how this terrible thing happened.

Not only that, but why do these acts keep happening?

(realizing this article was about something that happened a few years ago)

Somebody knows something about this.

That person should turn themselves in, or report anything they know about it.

The people involved in this poor fellow's murder will eventually be severely shamed, if not sooner.

I don't disagree with you, but this was family. It's pretty hard to hide something that big from close family.

It is time for Washington to act, and give all US lottery winners to right to anonymity.

nothing like a good murder mystery, but time will spin a most curious yarn sooner or later

someone will squeal or do something out of character soon enough

just a matter of when

Estranged family members who had voiced vague suspicions about Khan's wife or her father have quietly gone on with their lives.

At times, winning the lottery is tantamount to signing your own death warrant. Especially now that some lottery officials are willing to fight for cheap publicity instead of player safety. They will rather plaster your mug all over social media rather than giving you a choice to stay anon. or to hot dog it. I KNOW THERE ARE STILL SOME IDIOTS THAT SAY, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T PLAY .

Since this is, according to the medical examiner, a homicide, they will eventually find out who gave him the cyanide. Being there is no statute of limitations on murder, they just have to keep probing until they find the guilty person.

Puzzling cliff-hanger remains in case of poisoned lottery winner

Lottery Post — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 13:12:42 GMT

With his departure from office this week, a county medical examiner leaves behind a beguiling mystery set in motion more than three years ago with his sensational declaration that a Chicago businessman who had just won a $1 million lottery prize was poisoned by cyanide.

Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina's finding that Urooj Khan's death was a homicide led to the exhumation of his body, divided his family and drew flocks of international reporters to Chicago to cover the story.
