Isn’t this the same guy who bought dinner for a huge bunch of servicemen in an airport in Ireland or England?

Yes, he gave 400 soldiers $50 each when he saw them at Dublin airport.

Instruct all the managers to buy them and distribute them.

Gambling is not condoned by Orthodox Judaism.

He was NOT gambling! He was merely making a circuitous donation to the California Primary Education Fund. It's for the children, you know.

It ain’t gambling. It’s for the schools.

The same philanthropist loves our troops. Check out this YouTube clip of him buying our troops overseas something to eat. I think he spent $25000.

Nice, but, I got a bad feeling this won’t end well.

It already didn’t end well.

I didn’t win.

The article says he bought $18,000 in tickets, not that he had 18,000 employees and at $2 per ticket, he bought 9,000 tickets.

Sounds like a fascinating book. I wish you remembered the title. I’d like to read it.

Does it? Seems he bought more than 9000 tickets.

...purchased nearly 18,000 lottery tickets for all of his employees, one of which happened to contain the winning numbers.

Think that employee might just decide to retire?

I had the powerball but no other numbers on my ticket.

Me too, but it's worth four bucks, so I'll trade it in for two tickets on the mere 40 million this round.

5 without the power ball is one million. 4 plus the power ball is $50,000.
