He should have used his winnings to bet against the Chicago Bears he would have quadrupled his money by now.

He's probably not in danger of being harmed over low 6 figures, more like he's going to attract a lot of pests. Unfortunately, anyone can submit a FOIA request to the IL Lottery to find out his name.

His money, his business. I only wonder why some people are so carefree about drawing attention to their new wealth.
