Are you saying he spent or lost it all? Of course a $300M win ends up being more like $100M in your pocket, after the lump sum payout discount, and taxes, but still...

It reminds me of something someone said to me in the '80s, "The lottery is a tax on the poor." I responded with, "No, it's a tax on the stupid, but stupid people are often poor."

Smart people can be poor but they usually don’t stay that way.
