I'm pretty sure at 167 million none of that prize money came from me for that draw.

Sounds like he will be one of the richest guys in prison there if he can't buy his way out of it.

him winning the lottery is the worst thing that happened to his local community. someone needs to find this guy's baby mamas and have them come out of the wood work to sue him for back support. or convince him to invest all his money is some dumb business. anything to separate him from his money as soon as possible.

The accident was, at the intersection of Man-O-War Boulevard.

Then they, abandoned it on foot at the intersection of Rapid Run Drive

I guess our winner is a Man of War and Rapidly Running into new drama all the time .

It's always said that money never changes people, all it does is magnify who they already are.

I hope they get the help they need before it's too late.

As a lottery player, it's my wish that lottery winners are not frowned upon as dead beat losers.

Not a good area to be going 100+. The red balloon thingy is where they abandoned the car. The intersection of the crash is to the left and slightly above the balloon.

Well, we get to see in real time as to how a lottery winners life goes down the drain after winning. Usually you don't hear about it until it's all gone but look at all the past stories connected to this guy, we're getting the play by play here folks lol.

Let me see(am I'm being generous when I say this), I'll give this guy 5 years maybe 4 and he will be just another lotto story on how he wished he'd never won and the lottery ruined his life

KY is a no fault state. They do run ads for distracted driving (suedistracteddrivers.com)I believe is their handle.

He'll end up like many others we've read about on LP---Dead. Not a lick of common sense.
