He did pretty well in the office equipment business for years I think. But I was thinking the same thing you may be - the guy has a thing for scratch-off games. Probably dumps a fair amount into it.Sackmeifyoucan wrote:Of coarse, if he has won two big winners already, and spends that much on gambling...he must have enough ching already anyways.
State run "games" and lottery are a tax on the stupid for the most part. I'm sure Brown can afford to play, and two big wins ($350K) should have him ahead of the game.
