That's today! (or yesterday in Oz...)
WINFIELD, West Virginia (AP) -- Three men burglarized the home of Jack Whittaker, winner of the biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, as an acquaintance of Whittaker's lay dead inside, police said Tuesday.
I don't suppose you have an address on ole Jack Whittaker, do you? 
Whittaker was not home at the time,
I bet he was out playing bingo. and Chief Deputy John Dailey said the death of Jesse Joe Tribble, 18, was not related to the burglary and was not a homicide. It may have been drug-related, Dailey said.
And did Chief John Dailey ever speculate as to whether the burglary, the homicide, and the drug thing may all be somehow related in some complex, intricate way? 
"We're pretty sure they knew he was dead. That's why they went inside and took the stuff," Dailey said.
That's the only way I would have gone in and took the stuff.
The break-in took place Thursday night or Friday morning. One of those arrested reported Tribble's death late Friday morning, Dailey said. Tribble was a friend of Whittaker's granddaughter, and all three suspects were acquainted with Tribble.
I think I want a recount on that Powerball drawing...
Dailey would not say how the three knew about Tribble's death.
Yeah, that's a mystery that may ever go unsolved.
J.C. Shaver, 20, James Travis Willis, 25, and Jeffrey Dustin Campbell, 20, were charged with larceny and other offenses after being captured on a security camera that Whittaker recently had installed, authorities said.
A security camera? With 350 million dollars?? Damn, you think he would have been able to afford better non-homicidal friends. Police recovered $15,000 worth of items taken from the home, Daily said. He did not give a total for everything stolen.
Hmmm if I hadda ballpark it, I would say it was about....350 million?! 
Whittaker won the largest single jackpot in the nation's history when he hit a $314.9 million Powerball jackpot on Christmas Day 2002. He chose to accept a lump sum of about $113 million after taxes.
A day that he now refers to as the Last Day of the Rest of His Life!
Since then, Whittaker's vehicle, business and home have been broken into repeatedly. Last year, a strip club manager and his girlfriend were charged with drugging Whittaker and stealing a briefcase containing more than $500,000 in cash and cashier's checks. The money was recovered.
Who got the briefcase?
