That’s because the sensible people don’t waste their money on lotteries.

I’m ashamed to say he’s a local boy, but it is what it is. The local gendarmes that I spoke with following this drug dealer (and that’s what he was/is) winning gave an over/under of 3 years till he was broke. So, he’s got that going for him, which is good.

My best friend owns the store where the ticket was bought and I was playing golf with him when the lottery agency called to inform him his store had sold the winning ticket. I bought my Powerball ticket for that drawing at the same store, needless to say I put the golf cart into 4 wheel drive heading to my vehicle to check my numbers!

This is a picture of him with his "bride." Something doesn't add up. With his cars totaling around $750K, and a house for $1.2 million, that left around $25 million. Interest on that money would have been huge. IF those were his only big purchases, that must have been one heck of a party! LOL

“IF those were his only big purchases, that must have been one heck of a party! LOL” He also invested in around 25 “business opportunities” for between $100K and $1mm each, of which one was a LIMOUSINE service in Ashland, Kentucky! It’s my hometown, and the last thing that crosses my mind when making $$ here is limos. His trips out to Ceasars didn’t help. Did they mention the Bentley in the article? BTW: he didn’t have a license (DUI’s)the first couple years after winning, so had “drivers”.

The various brokers did a ## on him also, “grinding” his accounts for the commissions. Combine all this with the drugs and hangers on, and voila..........broke.
