A convicted sexual offender is now a multimillionaire after claiming a $3 million Scratch-Off prize in Florida, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Records indicate that Timothy Poole, 43, was arrested 12 times on charges ranging from sexual battery of a victim under 12 to grand theft, the Sentinel said. In 1991, he was arrested for stealing almost $20,000 in food stamps from an Ocala Insurance company, where he worked as a guard. According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Poole served three months in prison in 1996 and did a second stint from 2003 to 2006.
There are no laws in Florida that prohibit registered sexual predators from collecting winnings and the Florida Lottery cannot withhold earnings based on someone’s criminal record.

What was an Ocala insurance company doing with almost $20,000 in food stamps?
good question
I used to work for an insurance company - that big one in San Antonio - and I don’t remember food stamps’ being something we dealt in.
Maybe it was an “auto insurance for the uninsurable” company, and they accepted food stamps for premiums!
lol
Just think how much porn he can now afford.
Well, to some. :>}
