Oh come on now. He said how he was going to give away so much to good causes. He gave an undisclosed amount to Charity Charity Seems to have the right Idea

Jack is a perfect example of what NOT to do when you win the lottery. Rich or not, he's a total ass.That person in New Hampshire who won and is still not identified is the opposite.

Either that, or it's just the tortoise-like legal system at work. (Or not at work.

Doesn't look like 2004 started any better for himfja - thanks for pointing out the year, I missed it the first time I read it, I just assumed it happened recently. I wonder why she waited a year to file it - she must have been legally running out of time to do so.plnwebguy

Perhaps Jack should 1)move far away and live under an assumed name for a while and 2)keep a low profile (no bars, strip clubs, race tracks or bags of cash in the car). He has to know he is a lawsuit waiting to happen for any greedhead and their slimy lawyer looking for a quick settlement.

I wouldn't put this by Jack, but I would have to put this one in the I am skeptical category. With that said I have to agree with liberal47. Jack cannot put himself in situations like this (private room with a female worker!!!!!) especially when he has lost some credibility with other incidents that have happened with him recently. He is setting himself up to be taken.

Some people just can't handle the fame and fortune. Poor Jack. When I hit THE BIG ONE I'll act like a perfect gentleman. I promise.Play responsibly and have fun, Chas

Man he must have been put on this earth for sheer comedy relief. He just does it to himself over and over again. Like the energizer bunny he keeps going and going

I remember when he won and one of the first things he said was how he was giving a % of the winning to different churches. I thought, now there's an upright, religious man, but then you read stuff like this and the strip club stories and think wow, was he like that before or did the money change him :)plnwebguy
