New York Post Online Edition: news: "January 21, 2004 -- Jack Whittaker may be worth untold millions, but there's one problem the Powerball king's cash can't solve: How to stop getting ripped off.

Cops in West Virginia say a thief shattered a window on Whittaker's locked sports utility vehicle outside his home and made off with a bank bag containing $100,000 in cash.

It's the second time in the past year the money man's been ripped off.

Whittaker made U.S. history as the richest undivided lottery jackpot winner when he won Powerball in December 2002. He won $314.9 million, but opted to collect $113 million as a lump-sum payment.

And while he really doesn't have a worry in the world, the 56-year-old contractor who lives in the tiny rural town of Scott Depot has become a sitting duck for crooks.

In August, a strip-club manager and his girlfriend were charged with drugging Whittaker and stealing a briefcase containing more than $500,000. "
