$167 Million Powerball Wasn’t Enough Of A Win For Kentucky Lucky Accused Of Burglary Stealing $12,000

Pity the plight of winning hundreds of millions in the coveted Powerball sweepstakes.

The man who won the $167 million Powerball lottery is back in jail after allegedly burglarizing a Kentucky home, according to court documents.

James Farthing was arrested Saturday on burglary and marijuana-possession charges.

Farthing broke into the home where a victim said he stole $12,000 that she stored in her home, police said.

This is the latest criminal investigation Farthing has been involved in since he won the jackpot last year.

Farthing was arrested a year ago in Florida on charges of battery and resisting an officer. He pled guilty earlier this month.

He still has active cases in Kentucky for a hit-and-run and an intimidation charge.

The $167 million in his bank account will ensure Farthing has no problem making bail – now or forever.

Wow, thatโ€™s a crazy storyโ€”winning such a huge Powerball jackpot and still getting involved in something like that is hard to believe. It really shows that money doesnโ€™t always change peopleโ€™s behavior. For those who like following daily draws, you can also check the latest UK49s lunchtime lottery results
