Poker Player Spent $100,000 On Powerball TicketsDan Bilzerian Says He Bought Tens Of Thousands Of Tickets |
|
High-stakes poker player and Instagram celebrity Dan Bilzerian said on social media that he spent a whopping $100,000 on tickets for last week’s Powerball drawing. The record jackpot was worth more than $1.5 billion.
Unfortunately for Bilzerian, but perhaps fortunately for everyone else, he didn’t have a winning ticket. The jackpot was hit in California, Tennessee and Florida by three people. The odds of winning were 1-in-292 million. With 50,000 tickets, Bilzerian’s odds were much, much better.
Last year, a report came out that alleged Bilzerian’s money is “not exactly clean.” The Vice.com article said that he “is a beneficiary of—and party to—white collar crimes committed by his father.”
Bilzerian Tweeted prior to the drawing:
