$167 million Powerball lottery winner arrested a THIRD TIME after burglarizing home for $12kReply
I knew this redneck was gonna be a constant source of entertainment when he showed up in my backyard (St Pete Beach) 2 days after winning and assaulted a police officer. Kate, maybe you should see if he'll hire you to write his memoirs ala Abraham Shakespeare- he deserves to be under the slab of a house. Gotta get his first name right first though...it's Shannon.

2026 lottery headlines you hope to seeReply
The lottery headline I would love to see in 2026 is, All 50 states have abolished public disclosure of all lottery winners.

While being physically harmed due to a large lottery win likely isn't a huge threat, I don't know what a more dangerous threat could be. If you don't devote resources to reducing risk your chances of being harmed because you're rich add to the risks you had before you were rich, but mostly it's a small additional risk.
