A former Lakewood wedding hall manager has won a NY lottery, awarding him $10,000 a week for life!
Marc Klein, who currently works at a wedding hall in Brooklyn, says he’s not leaving his current job.
According to lottery officials, Klein will take a lump sum prize payout of approximately $4,000,000.
R’ Elchonon Wasserman said that the klalah on the nachash was that he would always have food and not need to ask Hashem for food. That Hashem didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
You must be fun at parties
Of course I am.
and why does someone making 10k a week mean he doesnt need Hashem anymore?!
He might not be fun at parties, but is at home in more important environments that probably make you cringe or run for your life…..
You cannot fargin a Yid ????
Your comment is disgusting !!
Of course I can fargin a yid. Just explaining why I am not jealous of him.
You’re a real sicko
Calling names does not add anything to the meaningful discussion on the LakewoodScoop
Kol Hposeil B’mumo Poseil
He already apologized for the comment and it is very clear that he regrets it, so why are you calling him names?
I dont think trying to make people do public repentance is helpful to anyone
Who said anything about being jealous? Maybe just be happy for another yid?
Happy? The nisayon of ashirus is greater than the nisayon of aniyus.

Both are nisyonos.

Baloney!!
What a negative remark to make to someone who is not letting the win go to head. As he is not going to retire. I am sure he will continue to thank Hashem that he won and that he is able to continue to do many good things and more.
Just explaining why I wouldn’t want to win that and why I am not jealous.
You don’t need to be jealous. If you would usually be jealous of something like this, you have major issues that you need to work on with your therapist!!
you don’t make sense If anything it’s 100% normal to be jealous think of the amount of debt you can save and good stuff you can put the money towards to
Not maskim
No one asked you if are jealous or if you want to win that.
I do not know if ypu are jealous or not. What i do know is that your ” vort” about the klala of the nachash has NOTHING to do with this amazing occurrence from Hashem to his child (we are all children of Hashem). It was shocking that the first comment I read was so nauseatingly despicably disgusting!!!
Why doesn’t it have anything to do with it? Do you think the nachash is just a story without lessons to learn from it?
Well, I assure you that no one wants anything to do with you because of your nasty attitude. And I’m ready to bet 10M that you are super jealous.
Well if I would bet you 10M then I would win, so you caught me in a catch 22
If you were truly not jealous, you wouldn’t feel it necessary to make sure no one else is!
I don’t see the connection. Why would me truly not being jealous cause me to not want to point out the fallacy to everyone?
That true, but, your line of thinking is applicable to anybody that has an abundance. It’s probably not the place to say it here- where Letzanim reside.
Hashem gives people money for many reasons. People do a lot of chesed with their money. There is no such thing that Hashem does not want to have anything to do with his children (us yidden)!
Hashem LOVES EVERY Yid. Hashem needs every Yid. And wants to hear from us and wants our tefillos. Hashem doesnt send people money so they shouldn’t have anything to do with him. Rabbi Wasserman ZTL HYD said this about the klala of the nachash. Rabbi Wasserman Ztl did NOT say anything about Hashem giving his children money so he shouldn’t have anything to do with them. This is a despicable analogy. And, very disrespectful to twist around a Tzaddiks vort to fit your agenda.
Tafasta Merubeh lo tofasta
He should take the 10K/week till 120!
From an investment viewpoint, lump sum is better. He can invest most of it and let it grow.
The prize is not until 120. I think it’s 25 years.
MAZEL TOV!! It’s my dream!
Keep buying tickets and you just may win!
take the ca$h and get out of NYC before mamdani lets loose a crowd of muslim killers on non-muslim families in residential neighborhoods and then he’ll tell the NYPD to “stand back” because he is only “enforcing international” law…
Mazel Tov!!
Mazel Tov! While I may not know you personally, I am happy for you and I wish you much shefa and loads of success wherever this next chapter happens to take you. Good for you and no doubt you can and will do good for humanity.
Mazel Tov! Use it in good health!
This should not have been published on a Jewish site. Siman Bracha when blessings are kept private.
Mazel tov.
Use it in good health.
Mazel tov!!
Life is so expensive these days, that it reminds me of an old joke:
Guy: I won a $1M lottery!
Friend: What are you going to do with it?
Guy: Pay my Chovos.
Friend: And the rest?
Guy: They’ll have to wait!
Hope he invests it wisely and him and his family live off the dividends for many healthy and happy years!
Mazel tov so happy for you
I for one am happy that another yid has won a nice amount of money I’m sure his wife and children are ecstatic. To me, what can be more rewarding, then knowing there are yidden out there today that are overwhelmed with happiness. Additionally, when a yid wins that kind of money (really any amount of money) one can be sure it was orchestrated from above and it was His will that they should win this money…. and so how can we not be happy for them?
Wowwwww congrats!! I wish u continued mazal and to be able to help many ppl!!
Does anyone know his phone number? I heard I might be his 3rd cousin once removed. That’s gotta be worth at least a few Sheqels.
I actually am his cousin. He is a most deserving and hard-working person to receive it. !!! We are all so happy for him and are sure that he will be responsible with it.
So true! I am also a cousin and so so happy for him!! He is really the nicest guy and deserves every penny!
So happy for him! He should continue to see Bracha in his life!!!
Please don’t buy any crypto currency.
During the past few years a few people were tortured severely for their password for their safe with crypto currency.
The Gemara says divide up your money three ways or more but not less than 3.
He took four mil instead of 500 K a year, Which would get him at least 21 mil throughout the rest of his life?!
No, it’s because for life doesn’t actually mean for life. It means for like 25 years or something. L’havdil like the yoval concept being called “forever”.
After Former Lakewood Resident Wins NY Lottery Prize, Current Lakewood Resident Says He’s Moving to NY So He Can “Win Lottery Prizes and Retire for Life!”
Upon learning that a former Lakewood resident recently won a top prize in the NY lottery, current Lakewood resident, Arthur Lottman, announced Wednesday that he is moving to NY so he can “win lots of cash prizes in the NY lottery and retire for life!”
“I see no reason for me to stay here in Lakewood,” Mr. Lottman said, “when I can move to NY, win lottery prizes and retire for life!”
“I have no idea why everyone else isn’t moving to NY to earn lottery cash and live like a king!” Mr. Lottman said.
Early this morning, Mr. Lottman rented out a small apartment in Brooklyn, but he says that, next week, immediately after he wins NY’s top lottery prize, he’ll be moving into a luxury home in Manhattan.
“I’m neither a fool nor a miser,” Mr. Lottman asserted, “there’s no reason for me to continue to live in a small apartment next week when I can use next week’s lottery earnings to purchase a brand new 10-story mansion in Manhattan!”
Did you mention Manhattan?
I heard that in Manhattan if
חס וחלילה
you need to call the Police, sometimes the Police will not come right away.
One of the reasons why Hashem sent the big flood during Noach, because there was no Police, everyone did as they please, the stronger guy was the winner.
I hope he doesn’t forget about masser 10%
Mazel tov
mazal tov!! so happy for you
What an inspiration! This story gives me chizzuk to strengthen my lottery addiction. Hey, you never know when Hashem will finally grant me the nisayon of ashirus.
