Whitey Bulger once won a large lottery ticket by extorting it from it’s owner.

Yes, and no. I'm pretty sure he made the winning ticket holder an offer that couldn't be refused, compensating the guy off the books so that Bulger could then have a laundered source of income for the tax people.

Lots of people call that extortion. ;-)
