Powerball Winner Can't Pay Settlement

Sunday, January 14, 2007 posted 09:56 AM EST

Record Powerball winner Jack Whittaker says thieves have cleaned out his accounts.

That's the reason Whittaker says he can't pay a lawsuit settlement.

This information is part of a lawsuit filed this week charging Whittaker with refusing to abide by a May agreement to pay a woman named Kitti French an undisclosed sum for a personal injury claim.

In a note faxed from Whittaker to French's lawyer, he claims a team of crooks cashed checks in September at 12 City National banks.

City National Executive Vice President Craig Stilwell says the bank is investigating small discrepancies in Whittaker's accounts.
