Powerball Winner Ends Up In Jail Day After Cashing In Ticket

Kentucky resident James Farthing had quite a week: He won $167.3 million dollars, and was arrested a day later. Farthing cashed in his Powerball ticket on Monday, and on Tuesday, he was charged with battery of a police officer. Arrest documents accuse Farthing of kicking an officer in the face during a dispute with a third party. Nonetheless, Farthing is looking forward to sharing his winnings with his mother. "I've caused a lot of stress on her, you know, I've made some bad decisions in life," he said. "It's going to be a good Mother's Day," his mother said. "This is going to pay off my debt." (newser)
