Default Iraqi Kurd wins Oregon lottery!

I don't understand how he could win the prize of $6.4 million dollars!?! I thought you had to live here to do that. But anyway, he convinced lottery officials not to show his name. He lives in Baghdad, and if all those forgiving people who live there who aren't Kurdish and found out he won,, his life and his families would be over quickly. He's taking the payments over 25 years, so after taxes he gets $158,000 a year.

Still even though he doesn't live here, he had to pay federal and state taxes!
