The X post references Mike Weirsky, a New Jersey man who won a $273 million Mega Millions jackpot in March 2019, just months after his divorce, a twist of fate later detailed in a 2024 UniLad article highlighting his ex-wife’s alimony obligation.
Historical lottery data from the New Jersey Lottery shows Weirsky’s win was part of a rare streak, with his store selling another big ticket shortly after, suggesting localized luck patterns possibly linked to ticket sales concentration, though no peer-reviewed study confirms this.
Psychological research, such as a 2016 study in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, indicates lottery winners often experience significant life changes post-win, with Weirsky’s case illustrating how divorce and sudden wealth can intersect unpredictably
