But the reality is that the games aren't big enough to win 50 mil in 6 months, especially if you're a good-but-not-great player like Dan is, which is what he seems to be from all accounts I've heard.
You'll also notice that Dan didn't say during the Howard interview that he was running really hot to have won that 50 mil this year, which you'd think he would have if he somehow pulled off the amazing feat of doing so. Instead, he was just treating it like it was no big deal. Dan is a straight shooter about everything else, and he totally would have said something like, "Normally you won't win 50 million in 6 months, but I've been really lucky this year", yet we heard nothing like that. This is likely because Dan doesn't have a memory of being "lucky", since he is actually getting the vast majority of that money from his dad.
