What's to do..once you've made a Killing.....? Powerball Winner Accused of Threat Wed Jan 7,10:41 AM ! WINFIELD, W.Va. - The winner of the largest single lottery jackpot in U.S. history has been accused of threatening to kill the manager of a bar. Andrew "Jack" Whittaker, who won the $314.9 million Powerball jackpot on Christmas 2002, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of threatening Todd Parsons, the manager of Billy Sundays Bar and Grill in St. Albans. Whittaker, who reportedly was banned from the bar, is accused of trying to hit Parsons and threatening "to have the victim and his family killed," according to police reports. Whittaker did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday. He was released on $5,000 bond and faces up to six months in jail and a $100 fine if convicted. The 56-year-old contractor received a $113 million lump sum payment from his lottery win and spent $14 million establishing the Jack Whittaker Foundation, a nonprofit organization to help West Virginians find jobs, buy food and pay for education.
