Nick1020 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Florida's newest millionaire is a 43-year-old 450-pound convicted child molester who finally caught a break this week when he won a multi-million dollar scratch-off jackpot. The Florida Lottery quickly pulled down images of Timothy Poole posing with his oversized check when he was identified as a convicted sex offender. He reportedly pleaded guilty to molesting two boys under the age of 12 in 2002 and spent three years in jail, just one of several violent charges on his rap sheet. Poole ended up with a $3 million prize, but hesacrificed around $800,000 to take it as a one-time, lump-sum payment. Despite public outcry, the Florida Lottery declined to stop the payment, explaining that anyone can play the lottery. Poole was reportedly working as a cab driver and dispatcher at his mother's taxi company when he bought the $20 scratch off at a 7/11 last weekend. His friends tell reporters his good fortune was probably karma. "He's a very positive person. Very kind. Giving. I think that's why he won. It's Christmastime and the dude deserves a break."

AlienTwo Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Of course it's Florida.... it'd be hard for a child molester NOT to win the lottery there.

Zook Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I don't see any problem with this. He served his time and has the right to get on with his life. His past convictions should not preclude him from receiving the money or playing the lottery. t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m, Hunter. and PinkRibbonScars 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raavi Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 He bought a scratch off ticket, he won. Such is the game.
