""I was incredibly lucky," he said. "You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere.""
""Anybody who's played cards in a casino, you often play for too long and lose whatever it is you won," Pritzker said."
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker reported a $1.4 million gambling windfall on his federal tax return from a Las Vegas trip with First Lady MK Pritzker and friends. Pritzker described himself as "incredibly lucky" and said casino play can result in losses if one plays too long; he declined to disclose his winning hand. Pritzker is an heir to the Hyatt hotel chain with a $3.9 billion net worth and has used personal wealth to fund Democratic causes, including protecting abortion access. The Pritzkers reported $10.66 million in 2024 income and paid $1.6 million in taxes.
