Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who’s made no secret of his wealth even as he’s raised his national profile within the Democratic party, disclosed that he won $1.4 million while playing blackjack.

“It was in Las Vegas and I like to play cards,” Pritzker told reporters on Thursday after disclosing his 2024 tax returns. “I went on vacation with my wife, with some friends, I was incredibly lucky. You have to be to end up ahead frankly going to a casino anywhere.”
