Illinois Governor JB Pritzker won $1.4 million playing blackjack at a Las Vegas casino last year, according to his 2024 federal tax return, released by his campaign Wednesday.
The governor, who is running for a third term in 2026 and is among the high-profile Democrats on the 2028 presidential short list, drew attention to his high gambling earnings after he and his wife, MK Pritzker, reported joint earnings of $10.7 million – more than triple their earnings from 2023.
