But he hasn't 'just arrived' in the US either. As others have said, he's been there 16 years. We could hypothesize and say that the winner was a lesbian, single-parent, asylum seeker, paraplegic neo-nazi with bad breath... but it's just a hypothesis and isn't the case - in the same way that it isn't the case that the actual winner has 'just arrived in the US. Sorry, mate, I really don't see where you're coming from on this one.
Now, if you'd argued that he'd bought the ticket
before becoming a US citizen, and whether he deserved to win a US lottery (not sure if anyone can deserve to win a lottery...?) when not being a US citizen but merely being a US resident then that would be a different matter.
