A New Jersey construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION lottery jackpot without telling his coworkers. He had been buying tickets together with them for years as a group. He told them he was taking time off work for foot surgery. He had actually quit to collect his winnings. A year later they found out. – Americo Lopes was a Portuguese immigrant living in Elizabeth New Jersey. – He worked as a construction worker and had been buying Mega Millions lottery tickets every week as part of a five-man work syndicate with his colleagues for years. – In November 2009 he claimed a $38.5 MILLION Mega Millions jackpot and chose the lump sum payout of $24 MILLION after taxes. – He told his coworkers he needed foot surgery and would be taking time off work. He never went back. – For nearly a year none of his coworkers knew what had happened to him. – Then one of them discovered the truth – Lopes had claimed the jackpot that their group had won together and kept every dollar. – Five coworkers sued him in 2010. They provided evidence in court of their longstanding arrangement to pool money and split any winnings equally. The group had been playing together for years. – Lopes argued the winning ticket was purchased with his own personal money and had nothing to do with the syndicate. He said the group arrangement had ended before the winning draw. – The jury did not believe him. They ruled in favour of his five coworkers and ordered Lopes to hand over $20 MILLION, leaving him with just $4 MILLION of his original $24 MILLION payout. – He had also already spent a significant portion. – He had bought a million-dollar home and moved out of his working class Elizabeth neighbourhood within weeks of the win. – His coworkers each received approximately $4 MILLION after the court order. A construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION jackpot his work group had won together, told his colleagues he needed foot surgery, and quietly moved into a million dollar house. A jury gave $20 MILLION of it back to the people he stole it from.

His $26 was worth $886,000. – In 2009 Kristoffer Koch was a 22-year-old student in Norway writing his thesis on encryption and digital privacy. – He stumbled across Bitcoin while researching. Almost no one outside forums had heard of it. – He spent 150 Norwegian kroner about $26.60 and bought 5,000 Bitcoin at less than half a cent each. – Then he forgot about it entirely. – Four years passed. – In April 2013 Bitcoin was suddenly everywhere on the news. The price had exploded past $100. – He vaguely remembered buying some once. He could not find the password. – He spent weeks trying to crack it. – When he finally got in he stared at the screen for a long time. – His 5,000 Bitcoins were now worth $886,000. – He sold exactly one fifth of them 1,000 coins for around $177,000. – He used the money to buy an apartment in Toyen, one of Oslo's most sought-after neighbourhoods. – He kept the other 4,000 Bitcoin. – He told reporters: "It said I had 5,000 Bitcoin and I just thought oh wow." – He had written a university thesis on encryption. His reward for understanding it slightly earlier than everyone else was a free apartment. – The $26.60 he spent in 2009 would be worth over $450 million today.
