Mega Millions Jackpot Brings Another Lawsuit
Another man in Chicago claims he is one of now five bakers owed dough–their fair share of $118 million in winnings from the Illinois State Lottery. They say they were part of a betting pool at the Pita Pan Old World Bakery in Chicago Heights that won the windfall in a May 4 drawing.
Chris Tzinis is the latest worker who claims he was part of the bakery’s office pool since its start in December 2011. He said he last contributed to the pool on March 30 at the request of a lottery pool member, but was not asked to pitch in more money for the May 4 drawing, according to the suit filed with Cook County’s circuit court.
