Schlomo Rechnitz is a Los Angeles based philanthropist and entrepreneur. He is the owner of the largest nursing provider in California, Brius Healthcare Services.
In November 2015, Rechnitz was travelling through Ireland on his way to Israel. During a layover at the airport, he spotted 400 U.S. soldiers eating pre-packaged meals. Rechnitz approached the commanding officer and offered a real meal for the soldiers, giving $50 for each ($20,000) on the spot.
In January 2016, it was revealed that the day prior to the $1.5B Powerball Lottery, Rechnitz purchased 18,000 tickets ($36,000 at $2 each) and gave them out to his employees. One of his employees (yet unidentified) held one of 3 winning tickets sold.
