FACT CHECK: No Evidence Epstein’s Zorro Ranch “Won” an $85M Lottery Jackpot



Factcheck:
The claim that Jeffrey Epstein won the lottery multiple times for his Zorro Ranch lacks supporting evidence from reliable sources. Reports focus on a single 2008 Powerball win by a “Zorro Trust” ($85M jackpot, $29.3M lump sum), but investigations (e.g., by The Oklahoman) found it was claimed by an unrelated grocery store employee using the same trust name—likely a coincidence, not linked to Epstein. No verified multiple wins exist. Sources: Bloomberg (2019), Financial Advisor Magazine (2019).
