"Camat was one of 13 Starbucks employees in Los Angeles who shared an $87 million California lottery jackpot in 2000.
He recently bought a house in Federal Way, a suburb between Seattle and Tacoma, relatives said. He previously used his share of the lottery winnings to buy a house for his mother and cars for his siblings."
Let's see. $87 million is not really $87 million when put in present day dollars. Maybe $50 million.
Then divided by 13 = $380k. Taxes would reduce it to maybe $220k.
A nice sum but he bought two houses and how many cars? It looks like he spent it all. Not bad, but he may actully be deep in debt.

It will be interesting to see if he has a CCW...they are relatively easy to get in WA.

Bullets drop, plus I bet he did not have a permit to carry a hidden weapon I bet. I would bet that if he did, the media would have made a point of it.

Not bad, but he may actully be deep in debt.The debt of course gets passed on to the surviving family members.

That is 3.8 mil with taxes 2.2 mil. Sort of changes the dynamic. However the result was the same. Wife will have to borrow money to pay for his funeral.

You missed a zero, it would be $3.8 Million.

Mistake number 1).
Having a loaded firearm near a bar when people are partying.
Mistake number 2).
Not dropping his weapon and raising his hands when the law showed up.

I think he might have already received the money since he won it in 2000. He had probably already spent it.
Mary Champaine bought 13 tickets - one for herself and every employee at the Starbucks coffee shop she runs. She fronted the money for several absent workers, but didn't hesitate to split the jackpot 13 ways. The 53-year old manager recounted how her husband died of cancer last year, how she lost her job when retailer Fedco went under last year and how her son, 24, was shot and killed several years ago. The other winners include Rick Camat, 28; Leah Coley, 30; Dina Escobar; Arely Gaytan, 27; Keith Matthews; Moisha Oliver; and Keana Essex, 16, whose winnings will go to her mother Kellye Richard. Each will get U$6.7 million before taxes, over 26 annual payments. Magic Johnson is an investor in their Mid-City Starbucks.

He had a concealed weapon, and the moment he fired that gun in public, he became a criminal. Criminals don't need permits for "concealed weapons".

He was a canvasser for the Gore campaign.

50mil divided by 13 would be 3.8mil btw =) but chances are he did blow it and was boke at the time of his death.
To: WildTurkey
Scratch the above post. I should have eaten lunch instead of posting.
To: Leapfrog
Irony can be quite....ironic.
Next time something like this happens I propose we call it a "Camat".
