Lucky Fata$$
Last year brought good fortune to Gov. JB Pritzker in his investment portfolio — and at the casino, too, according to 2024 income tax returns released by his campaign Wednesday.
In his joint filing with first lady MK Pritzker, the billionaire Democratic governor reported an adjusted gross income of almost $10.7 million, more than tripling the roughly $2.8 million they reported in 2023.
The good news is it came from Vegas casinos.
The bad news is it isn't going to play well in a reelection campaign, where Illinois has been raising taxes willy-nilly, giving away hundreds of millions to ILLEGAL ALIENS and cost-of-living numbers have been steadily climbing.
So now it's going to be a charitable donation:
“I was incredibly lucky,” a smiling Pritzker said while being quizzed by reporters on his jackpot during an otherwise somber Loop press conference about the potential deployment of troops in Chicago. “You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere.”
[...] “I like to play cards,” Pritzker added. “Anybody who’s played cards in a casino knows that you often play for too long and lose whatever it is that you’ve won. I was fortunate enough to have to leave before that happened.”
To rake in that kind of money, you (most likely) have to play in one of the high-roller rooms, where the moneyed class bets $100K....per hand. Which certainly won't play well in Peoria, or any other area where people notice that the governor (who insists he's just like us) can bet almost double the annual salary of the common people.
We're more likely to believe that every time Fata$$ said, "Hit me!" they brought him another plate of fried chicken and potatoes.

JB Pritzker is one lucky rich ass-hole.
Again, his money is not in jeopardy from Illinois taxes. It's in the Grand Caymons. How is he equal to the common man? NOT AT ALL!!!
His winnings should be treated like the State / Lottery / education scheme - for every $ he won, the State should "take back" an equal $ amount from his pay. If winnings are more than his pay, he has to pony-up the diff - since he's "on-the-clock" 24/7 and was gambling "on State time." I'm guessing there's State personnel code that prohibits gambling on-duty for rank-and-file employees.
So many methods have these skankers to cover their ill gotten gains.
It’s almost like the guy who owned a share in a casino (up until he became governor of course because that would be unethical) was getting a money laundered delayed kickback for expanding gambling - including sports betting in Illinois or something (but that would be unethical of course).
I have heard that a person who’s a High Roller is often referred to as a Whale.Looks like Jumbo has more vices than just Gluttony.
Isn’t gambling the quickest way to launder money?? Hmmmmmmm
Don't care for Illinois casino's JB?
Your a billionaire and need to gamble???? Obviously, he doesn't know what else to do with his money...So, be like former Gov Bruce Rauner, no need to make a salary. Cant believe show stupid people are in this state to vote for a cheater and liar!!
No one witnessed this? Illinois governor, surrounded by body guards no doubt, drawing attention, and not a soul mentioned the literal fat cat winning that much money? Impossible?
Question is, which Casino did JB Prickster win the money in? And exactly how long was he staying there with his wife and security team?
Remember we have several casinos in Illinois that are rooted in Vegas.....
So would it be a large stretch for any casino to fly JABBA out to Vegas and let him party to keep him happy while the new Casino is being built here?
Did his wife also win?
Did his friends also win?
Were the rooms comped?
Keep the Governor happy and casino keeps getting what they want?
The entire thing is a total fabrication
He's a card and calorie counter.
Who was JB "playing cards" with? I wanna see the video.
"Here I am. Bring me one of those chickens."- JB Pritzker (probably)
Winnings from an undisclosed casino at an undisclosed time with undisclosed players. I'm sure there is no chance a guy that removed a toilet to avoid a property tax bill would ever take money he's not supposed to take. I think a bigger deal is that someone worth an estimated 3.9 billion claims to have only earned something like 8.5 million on that money. He needs a new investment advisor. Or he's full of shit and avoiding paying taxes a different way.
Porkie doesn't take a salary from Illinois, so he's like the President in that resepct
funny how the liberal news covers everything Trump says and does outside the white house yet they ignore porkopoulus
Sounds a lot like the money laundering video. Hmmmm.
The amount of dummies on social media sticking up for Pritzker is astonishing. Someone even posted this gambling thing makes him look cool. This fat fuck wasn't gambling. This is a scam. That's how fucking stupid voters are. This is why Illinois will never change.
Declaring gambling winnings on a tax return is a classic way of washing ill gotten gains such as graft and payola.
Can this be verified?
I'm offended! There isn't a chance his $10M winning was a kickback for his instrumental involvement in Bally's , the old Finkel & Son's site fast-track for the aforementioned, all the sports betting internet services now allowed to operate in Illinois, the gambling complex that'll be part of the larger Bears installation, etc.. NOT A CHANCE!
Why all of a sudden the charitable donation? If it's legit, why give it away, Jay Bob?
He only went to Las Vegas for the 24 hour buffet's...I find it suspicious that he won so much so easily at cards. I wonder if the casino threw in a "pro" dealer and gave him a few hands of cards he just couldn't refuse...?
“You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere.”...
WTF does that even mean???
Most of that "win" was just a casino payoff to keep him out of the buffet line
"that's alot of money you got there, kid. Anybody asks, you got it gambling in Vegas. You got it?"
Everyone I know who has been to Las Vegas recently has said it is a filthy dump now. But, of course, that is coming from people who don't have private jets and an army of illegal immigrant servants.
He swallows a lot of aggression, along with a lot of pizzas.
Four fried chickens, and plain white toast. I didn't know JB was a fan of the Blues Brothers.
I'll bet it was not at any public casino, but at a private one for the rich, fat, prideful, stupid, and ugly.
Born on 3rd base and acts like he hit a triple
Lucky? For a man who claims to love to play cards, this is the first time he claimed gambling winnings on his tax returns and it was a whopper. That tells me that he has played many times before and did not win and most likely lost big. Think about someone going to Vegas and gambling on cards and winning more than one million? That is incredible and it surely was not his first time in the big money gambling circles and the fact that no one every leaked to the media about his gambling tells me it was all behind closed doors and with the wealthy.
Five bucks says he cheats.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The Pritzker cousins avoid paying taxes in all kinds of remarkably petty ways. Like having million dollar paintings they buy for their Illinois mansions at Art Basel Miami delivered to the family compound in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin to dodge IL taxes on the purchase. Then just have a 3rd party drive the artwork south in a box truck & hang it on an Illinois wall.
Rick O’Shay Says:
Prickster is a cloven hooved Liar who will write off any charitable donations and recoup any losses in income. Meanwhile Hellinois remains the highest property , state, local, and corporate Taxes in the USA. Aren’t you happy you keep voting Democrat instead of for republican meanies ? YOU people, are the dummys who walk around with a “Kick Me” sign taped onto your backs, while wondering why you keep getting kicked so much.
So, you are saying throughout a Governors term they have no free or personal time…yes, they are Governor 24/7, but still go on vacations…just like Presidents go on vacations
Gee, he is worth Billions..I am sure that laundering of 1 million covered up a lot
You are soft….his earnings are capital gains…money he took out or cashed in…I took out $75k from my 401k last year but overall my 401k made double that..,so I had to claim the 75k as earnings, not the full amount of my overall gains
Anyone who thinks a billionaire is laundering $1M through a casino doesn’t have a fricken clue. That being said I’d like to hear more about his gambling habits. .
Hey SCC…. Curious… were any of the winnings at a Bally owned casino in Vegas as they own a lot down there??? Or any of the other companies that were “awarded” gambling licenses in Illinois under pritzker that also own casinos in Las Vegas??? Seems like a conflict of interest or huge coincidence to award gambling licenses in Illinois and all of a sudden “win” 1.4 million in Vegas.. obviously it would be bad if he “won” this money at an Illinois casino… 1.4 million in winnings comes out to about a million after taxes come out.. a nice round number… could be something to this
Did he win(?) the money from a casino that does business in the state of Illinois? Kind of sounds like a way to make a bribe look legit. Inquiring minds want to know.
He should give the money to illegals.
A billionaire wipes his rear end with a million dollars.
According to Conehead's budget proposal yesterday, the Bally casino downtown only brought in $84 million for the city. So much for it shoring up the pensions.
Nah. The casino probably tossed him a bone after he had lost tens of millions over the years. Here's a million JB, now come back and lose another sixty.
This^^^
Organized crime just buying influence for the next democrat president. He doesn't have a snoballs chance in hell, but what is 1.4 million? There may be another casino licence available in Illinois very soon. Lets keep an eye on AOC's finances...Remember the mob helped elect Kennedy, then wanted him dead.
Lucky? He was given the cards he was dealt likely on purpose. If you cant see the mark kid, you are the mark. There are dealers out there that can give you any card they want to....You and Pritzker are the only two people on earth that think he "just got lucky"
Funny, the "News Media" hasn't asked that question !!!! Especially when Pritzker has OK'd six new Illinois casinos since his election and opened a new luxury Hotel in El Salvador (?). But while the real manufacturers and companies are leaving the state faster then you can say "adios", the new illinois economy looks like it's being run by "Biff Tannen"!
No kidding. I hear all the trailer trash is heading over to Chicago Bally's now.
Now Pritzker is giving the money to a favorite charity. (Likely a food bank) Remember he only paid taxes on his mansions when it hit the news that he was taking the toilets out to reduce taxes? He won the money last year. It just hit the news. Why now? Pritzker is famous for acting only when he gets caught. Remember he was flying around his family on a private jet during Covid? He said he went down there to feed his horses. What a fat bullshitter...
I think Governor Porky has a gambling problem...I wonder what he has lost over the years...
His trust paid $35,000,000 in taxes, what a crook!
That’s the easiest way to hide a kick back from gambling casinos is to list it as winnings - and pay taxes on it.
Anyone see Ozark! 😂
Porkulas acts like a King nothing pertains to him and those around him another piece of crap - he is worth more than #47.
$35 mil in taxes. Sounds like a lot but what is the total worth and earnings of his trust, billions.
“Charitable donation” to connected “non-profit” run by friends or family equals washing the dirty money one more time to make it look extra clean. The non- profit gets to feed its pet projects and hide money and/or collect hefty salary for the connected) and the donor gets to wash the money while getting a tax deduction.
He's a fat fuckin liar. We ain't hearing this until now bullshit. Kickback money he's covering up.
Porky doesn`t take his salary but he has directed over $20B in state contracts to companies he controls.
Rumor has it he woke up with a horse in his bedroom suite until the veterinarian confirmed it was his wife.
Whats wrong cant gamble in Illinois? if you're gambling in Las Vegas as a non-resident of Nevada, you’re not contributing to Illinois’ infrastructure, pensions, or education funds through your play. WTF Fatass?
I hop
e someone reports him to the IRS and they ask to see the 1099 from the casino
If he loves to play cards in Vegas, he must have lost a lot of money as well. Has he ever claimed his losses at the card table?
The Justice Department should look into this, seems rather suspicious. Are these kickbacks, leftover USAID funds laundered back to fatso? Start squeezing the casino, dealers, get the tapes. We know fake media wouldn’t dare be inquisitive about this, they only push narratives of the left.
He just gives OUR money to illegal aliens.
Am I missing something? Is this the first time that Pritzker has reported gambling winnings? He did say in the news that he LIKES to Play Cards. So, has he reported previous winnings and losses? I mean how long has he liked to play cards?
The casino where Jelly Belly Jb putz won $1.4 Million has to file loss to Nevada... to identify the amount lost & to whom.. JB travels with 8-16 Illinois State police body guards .Any good reporters left to Foia their time in vegas?
I agree. There’s no way this was his first rodeo. Unless of course, it wasn’t gambling winnings, but rather just the cherry on top of a whole payola iced caked. Some are commenting that for a billionaire laundering a million is silly, but it’s not. If a million means he can buy his daughter a few new high bred horses…Greed has no number for people like this- even if it’s only $1 million here that he can steer into some bullshit connected non profit which scratches some other back which scratches back. Then there’s the other millions that get steered by comps and shady deals to approve licensing or look the other way on say who a casino chooses to contract for cement. Graft is the gift that keeps giving no matter the seemingly insignificant amount to a billionaire.
I agree with you. This is gambling winnings, but something he seems to have not claimed in a few years. That tells me he has lost a lot of money. I would guess he plays in high stakes card games behind closed doors in Vegas, games by invitation only and that most likely is why the media never caught on.
What an amazing coincidence! The super rich billionaire Pritzker walks into a random casino and just happens to win more than 99.9999% of all gamblers in world history! By sheer blind luck this power mad politician just happens to score on a 20 standard deviation event! If there were any real journalists left they’d track those millions to their origin in Moscow, Beijing, Caracas, Tehran or Sinaloa
Maybe Fatass and Hillary can start a prop shop trading cattle futures
Stop hating on Pritzker, SCC. It's not a good look for you,
He played cards and won. Don't hate him for that. We all know
that 'the house' usually cleans out all who enter there.
The casino lost $1 million to Fatass at the card tables and $10 million at the buffet tables
