I've known his story for a very long time.

If you look at those so called lottery curse stories, most of those unfortunate incidents could've been avoided by being just a lil cautious. It's really sad what happened to his daughter and granddaughter. But he was carrying six figures in cash in his car and would often flaunt it in the strip clubs making sure everyone knew he was wealthy. And when asked why he would do that, his response was because I can . When you have such utter disregard for... [ More ]

Try this, the late Jaclk Whitaker won $314 million on Powerball in 2002 and he himself said wining was the worst thing that ever happened to him.

He did things like go to strip clubs and leave $650,000 in the trunk of his car and said his granddaughter died becuase of his winiing.

Yes, there are. But the winners have to take accountability at some point. No one's putting a gun to their head and making them do everything.

Things out of your control is the lottery curse.

Lottery curse is when you get robbed or distant relatives coming out of the woods and driving you to a psych ward. Not assaulting others thinking you're untouchable cuz you're rich.

Some people are more likely to be struck by lightning than win the lottery and some people are more likely to win the lottery because they have already been struck by lightning lol When l was a baby there was an assassination attempt on me . I was thrown out of upstairs window three separate times and survived all and even though it's a big family with over 32 children l was the only baby that fell three times and no other fell even once .

Let's not forget he still has to face felony charges here in Florida. And we don't take too kindly to folk that would look to harm one of our poh-leese officers.

My roommate served for sixteen years on the KY Parole Board. If this happened while on his term, he wouldn't tell me anything about it stating it's against State law. We were @ odds with child abuse cases. I couldn't discuss the kids I sometimes had to extubate (terminally) and he couldn't tell me with Defendant was up for parole. So I fixed everything a long time ago since I knew all seven board members. Simply said 'Child abuse=serve out'.

This guy will probably be back behind bars in... [ More ]

Good thing for him he claimed the ticket right away. If his release date had been delayed or pushed back for any reason the 180 day claiming period may have expired.

Mother's love is a very powerful equalizer. His professed love for his mother might just be the catalyst to make him stronger and able to deal with life as an adult.
