Shlomo Rechnitz, a health care magnate who owns 80 assisted living facilities throughout California, purchased nearly 18,000 lottery tickets for all of his employees, one of which happened to contain the winning numbers.
Rechnitz made sure to give all of his employees throughout California an opportunity to go for the jackpot.
