Millionaire Banker Wins New York Lottery

how did he get "luckier" he worked hard and earned himself a great job, that's not due to luck.
 
I think this is a better thing than some might, he will at least know how to deal with the new money rather than people who just blow it after they win.

How's this work? He may a million per year now, but won't necessarily when he retires. Second, a million dollar jackpot isn't that much, Uncle Sam and NY are going to take ~60% of that before all is said and done.

Edit - NM, read the article more closely, didn't realize it was a 1M/year lottery. My bad.

would suck if he gets in a tragic accident and is in a coma. i would assume his family could still collect the 1 million / yr as long as he is still alive.

Surely, everyone that wins the lottery must follow in the footsteps of this man:

He became the self-proclaimed king of the chavs after turning up to collect his £9.7million lottery win wearing an electronic offender's tag.

But eight years on, having blown all that money, Michael Carroll is practising for a return to his old job as a binman.

The 26-year-old, who squandered his multi-million fortune on drugs, gambling and thousands of prostitutes, has since February claimed £42 a week in jobseeker's allowance.

I always think it's funny to see stuff like this. Given enough time, everything will happen at least once.
 
Does it disturb anyone else that a "banker" is playing the lotto? I hope he's not an investment banker.

although I guess you could argue that gambling worked in his favor
