News writer; Opinion columnist
Alex is a Los Angeles-based journalist and writer with over a decade of experience covering the worlds of finance, entertainment, and gaming for some of the most prominent magazines and websites in the world.
Through hard work, hustle, and an ability to create compelling narratives, he's become a sought-after content writer by world-class publications such as New York Magazine, the Hollywood Reporter, and Fortune 500 companies, including Avery Dennison and Office Depot.
He's also worked as a screenwriter and has writing credits on two feature films, the Disney Channel film Pants on Fire and the faith-based hit I Can Only Imagine.
The most important lesson he's learned as a writer is that everyone, whether they're a movie star, CEO, or ride-share driver, has their own fascinating story to tell, and his joy in life is hearing those stories and sharing them with the world, whether through articles, blog posts, thought leadership pieces or screenplays.

In Alex's own words...
What I like about working for Lottery USA:
I enjoy discovering the story behind the story. I want to know how people's lives changed for better or worse. How they handled the challenges that come with money, how they fulfilled their dreams, and changed their lives in ways they could have never imagined. The lottery is the world's longest-running drama, and the excitement and stories it generates never seem to end.
What most excites and intrigues you about the lottery?
What excites me most about the lottery is its potential to radically change people's lives in ways they never could have imagined and the insane things people will spend their money on.
Best run state lottery?
California, because it creates the most billionaires.
Most memorable lottery moment?
When Edwin Castro became the first multi-billion-dollar winner.
If I won the Powerball:
Delete my LinkedIn, turn off my cell phone, and book a one-way flight to Bali.
Can you share an interesting fact about yourself?
I co-wrote the 2018 movie “I Can Only Imagine”.
