$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, that’s a crazy story—winning such a huge Powerball jackpot and still getting involved in something like that is hard to believe. It really shows that money doesn’t always change people’s behavior. For those who like following daily draws, you can also check the latest UK49s lunchtime lottery results
