Kentucky Powerball Winner Gets Arrested Days After Collecting His Winnings
If you can manage to make it through the day without getting arrested two days after winning $167 MILLION in the lottery, you’re doing ok.
James Farthing hit the state’s highest ever Powerball jackpot at over $167 million and during his celebration trip to Florida, got in trouble with the law. A Facebook post on St Pete Vibes page posted this story and told it HILARIOUSLY!
Kentucky, come get your Powerball problem. James Farthing hit the jackpot—$167 MILLION—and decided to celebrate by heading to St. Pete Beach. What did he do next? Got drunk, picked a fight, and allegedly kicked a Pinellas County deputy in the face. Oh, and his girlfriend? Jacqueline Fightmaster. Yes, that’s her real name. Because apparently the multiverse dropped a Florida Man in from Kentucky and gave him a WWE tag team partner.
Nonetheless, Farthing is looking forward to sharing his winnings with his mother. “I’ve caused a lot of stress on her, you know, I’ve made some bad decisions in life,” he said. “It’s going to be a good Mother’s Day,” his mother said. “This is going to pay off my debt.”.
