Iranian couple wins California's $33 million SuperLotto
Mr. and Mrs. Massoud Ardalan, an Iranian couple from Walnut Creek, California were announced today as winners of California Lottery's $33 million SuperLotto prize.
Many in the Iranian immigrants are attracted to lottery and gambling. In Southern California, Las Vegas Casinos are among popular weekend destinations for many Iranian-Americans.
Perhaps no one embodies that quintessential Iranian love of high-stakes games than Antonio (Amir) "the magician" Esfandiari. He recently beat 47 of world's top poker players to win $18.3 million in The Big One for One Drop, a charitable event at the 2012 World Series of Poker (see news link here).
