I just read about that. Crazy. Now they are talking about passing a law that disallows sexual offenders from playing the lotto.
What the fuck? Pedophile Wins $3M in Florida Lotteryhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2014/12/11/pedophile-wins-3-million-florida-lottery.htmlA man registered as a sexual predator won nearly $3 million Wednesday from a Florida Lottery scratch-ticket. Timothy Poole was arrested in 1999 for allegedly sexually battering a 9-year-old boy. He pleaded guilty to attempted sexual battery and was sentenced to time served. However, his probation was revoked in 2003 for failing to show up for counseling, and thus served three years in prison until 2006. Florida law doesn't let the lottery withhold payments based on their criminal records.
"The want of Money is the root of all evil" sounds pretty true
I am sure what he did was abhorrent, but he has paid his debt according to the law. If he breaks it again, he will be arrested and charged accordingly.
