"How does a billionaire governor win $1.4 million playing blackjack in Las Vegas?

“I was incredibly lucky,” Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois said on Thursday, responding to questions from reporters about his 2024 tax returns, in which he reported that massive sum in gambling earnings. Mr. Pritzker said it all came from a single trip to Las Vegas last year with his wife, MK Pritzker, and some friends.

Mr. Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, did not say if he was playing at a special table for high rollers, how much he had wagered per hand, or if he won the money in a single run or over the course of several days. But he said he had “fun doing it.”

“Anybody who’s played cards in a casino knows that you often play for too long, and lose whatever it is that you won,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to have to leave before that happened.”

A campaign spokesman, Alex Gough, said that Mr. Pritzker, a Democrat, would donate the money to charity..."

>donates winnings to "charity"
Funny thing about that, he didn't.
The article is about his 2024 tax returns, meaning this happened last year, and the statement from his press secretary was that "he's going to donate it"...
Meaning it's been a year and he hasn't donated it and now people found out about it and so they released a positive statement.

Interestingly, it said he refused to describe how long he played cards for how much he wagered or anything about the gambling, just that he won money playing cards.

This literally sounds like money laundering. Monsters would go to casinos and launder large sums of money. They give the casino a huge stack of cash, and the casino keeps 20% and writes on paper. They won everything else gambling. In this case it was probably a bribe

Degenerate gambler, drug addict - and 30-year old leech on his parents & still living at their home - Bossmanjack wishes he wasn't in jail till 6th Jan 2026. And of course, he's broken his parole.
Damn That Prison Nice

I like how this story is focusing on the 1.4 million from gambling and the 10.4 million he made from lobbying
