Undeleted

[edit]

I undeleted the speedy deletion of this article (on the grounds of CSD:A7). It is my contention that the subject meets notabilitys guidelines by being the primary subject of several non-trivial published newspaper articles (see references and external links) and as the winner of the then-record indivivual lottery win. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tribble

[edit]

Is it "Jesse Tribble, a 17-year-old", or "18-year-old Jessie Tribble"? --LottsoLuck (talk) 11:59, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Update since 2007?

[edit]

The last information here refers to 2007. This morning he got a mention in The Irish Times - The Bad Luck Lottery Wins. Does anybody have updated information on this man? 79.97.154.238 (talk) 17:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

[edit]

The article states "The jackpot that day was a US$314.9 million annuity or US$170.5 million cash. Whittaker chose the cash option of US$113,386,407[2][3] and received a check for approximately US$93 million after tax withholdings.[4]"

Was it "US$170.5 million cash" or "the cash option of US$113,386,407"? 79.97.226.247 (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It says “after taxes” 211.75.74.223 (talk) 05:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
