Now this is VERY interesting: Pritzker is saying the winnings are from BlackJack in Vegas
To win this much you have a big bet size and credit line at a casino with a proven record of massive losses. He did not report any previously but it now appears he is a absolute degen https://t.co/9SiQpuTIbJ

I don’t care that JB Pritzker is a “billionaire.” Well, actually his father was a billionaire, JB is a talentless loser.
Making $1.4M from blackjack is crazy for anyone. I know a lot of big-time gamblers, and they’re calling BS on this.
There should be an investigation into his gambling “earnings.”

CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker offered a simple explanation on Thursday for how he took home more than $1.4 million in gambling winnings last year.
“I like to play cards,” the billionaire governor told reporters at a news conference in downtown Chicago, adding that he won the money during a single trip to Las Vegas.
Pritzker’s comments came one day after his political campaign released partial 2024 tax returns for the governor and his wife, MK, showing they reported $10.3 million in taxable income, including the $1.425 million in gambling revenue.
