Major Lottery Winner Also Has An Extensive Criminal Record

Lottery winner James Farthing, who claimed a $167.3 million Powerball jackpot in Kentucky, has a long and troubling criminal history. Farthing, 50, has spent nearly 30 years in custody across 25 different correctional institutions. His rap sheet includes offenses like strangling a girlfriend, selling cocaine, escaping from prison work detail, and bribing a corrections officer. Farthing's criminal record spans 35 years and involves convictions in at least nine counties in Kentucky. Despite his newfound wealth, Farthing's recent Florida vacation was cut short when he allegedly punched a guest and kicked a police officer. He was arrested and faces charges in both Florida and Kentucky. (Thesmokinggun)
