You mean YOU haven't hit a straight on pick 3 in 11 months. Question is, what does that have to do with Jack Whittaker dying

A Pick 3 Number Comes In Straight Twice Daily In Illinois.

That You Haven't Matched Any Of Those In 11 Months Isn't That Strange.

The Odds Of A Straight Are 1 In A 1,000

How Many Straight Combinations Do You Play Each Draw

Jack's daughter suffered from a constant illness. She might have accidentally overdosed and died.

Jack's Granddaughter was addicted to illegal drugs and also overdosed accidentaly.

and the Ancient Greeks do too.

The Lottery has been around since the Hong Dynasty in 200 BC. There have been multiple examples of how winners have been, cursed . The people perish for lack of wisdom.

with you, CDanaT. What not to do can be just as important at what to do. I have learned that after winning I must treat myself as retired. Not able to earn an income. I must depend on what I win until my last day here.

Past winners who have passed are Jack W., Billy Bob Harrell jr., David Lee Edwards.

There are also Jack's Daughter and Granddaughter. May they all rest in peace.

Nobody knows when they will die.

I am somewhat thankful of the Jack Whitaker's of the world. They give us ALL a free lesson on what NOT to do ,when winning a large jackpot of money. There are no guarantees in life other than taxes and one's demise.

So Jack...Thanks for your FREE educational gift ! I for one greatly appreciate it.

I honestly thought this guy passed away years ago. Whenever they talk about the curse of the lottery they use him as the primary example. It's very sad.

No pick 3 straight numbers in Illinois lottery in almost a year(11 months). This is very strange.

Vergie6, Uncle Sam and the winner's State take a big bite out of the advertised annuity. Same with the Cash Lump Sum.

The winner still ends up wealthy!

Take life slow after claiming. Before claiming as well.

....bad luck? I should say not. He created his own reality. Sorry...No crocodile tears here. House went up in flames? ..Hmmm.....half a million in cash stolen from truck? ..Say what?...Who does that?.. Sorry but the limit I carry in my car is about 250K in case I need to go shopping or the casino.

They say when you die you can't take it with you. Well Jake made sure of that. I think the first thing he bought when he won all that money was a big giant pi$$ bucket.

The last video of Jack on YouTube showed him obese with a beer barrel gut. He was probably diabetic. He had to fight alcoholism and drug addiction.

Jack gave jackpot winners a list of what not to do post win. Hind sight is 20/20.

His granddaughter should have been enrolled in a prestigious private school that was away from Hurricane, West Virginia. May she, Brandy Bragg, rest in peace.

Jack gave Brandi $2,000.00 every week. She was only 16 years old.

If only Jack took advice f... [ More ]

Andrew Jackson (Jack) Whittaker, Jr. (October 9, 1947 - June 27, 2020) was an American businessman in the construction industry. He was noted for being the winner of a 2002 lottery jackpot. His win of US$314.9 million in the Powerball multi-state lottery was, at the time, the largest jackpot ever won by a single winning ticket in the history of American lottery.

You can kill some people, giving them that much money all at once, even if it takes almost twenty years.
