Child Molester Won $3 Million Lottery Jackpot Because of His Good Karma
Florida's newest millionaire is a 43-year-old 450-pound convicted child molester who finally caught a break this week when he won a multi-million dollar scratch-off jackpot.
The Florida Lottery quickly pulled down images of Timothy Poole posing with his oversized check when he was identified as a convicted sex offender. He reportedly pleaded guilty to molesting two boys under the age of 12 in 2002 and spent three years in jail, just one of several violent charges on his rap sheet.
Poole ended up with a $3 million prize, but hesacrificed around $800,000 to take it as a one-time, lump-sum payment. Despite public outcry, the Florida Lottery declined to stop the payment, explaining that anyone can play the lottery.
Poole was reportedly working as a cab driver and dispatcher at his mother's taxi company when he bought the $20 scratch off at a 7/11 last weekend.
His friends tell reporters his good fortune was probably karma.
"He's a very positive person. Very kind. Giving. I think that's why he won. It's Christmastime and the dude deserves a break."

there are unfortunately some things in life which just make you feel sad.
i wish that what comes around goes around, but to be frank, I don't think it does. Some of the most monstrous people I've ever met seem to be unfailingly lucky. |  | | |

Was God having a day off when that draw was made? |  |

yup - depressing really.
Hopefully this guy will use it to buy a fast car and will end up wrapping himself around a lamp post while high on expensive champagne. | | | |

Lisa, I normally have a lot of respect for you but that is way out of order. Beyond out of order really. You should be ashamed of yourself.
That's no way to wish for the end of a fast car  |  | | |

I wonder if his previous victims can sue him for every penny, now that would be karma, they could then club together and buy a set or two of tyres to put over his head and set fire to them, he can't win the lotto again then. | |

Was God having a day off when that draw was made? |
Remember Jesus advised us to give all our money away to somebody who wouldn't pay it back, and commented it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich merchant to enter the kingdom of heaven. As such it seems highly dubious to infer that the bestowal of wealth is somehow a sign of God's favour.
On a more cheery note for those of us unable to lead an entirely ascetic life in this day and age, I remain open to the possibility of redemption. We know that that child abusers have often been abused themselves as children, and an optimistic view says this win could just break that cycle for the individual in question. And that would undoubtedly be a good thing. | |

Very moralistic Shaky, but you should know that forgiveness is now as out of date as moral behaviour. | |

Being totally serious, forgiveness is one way we can experience emotional miracles in out personal lives. It is highly recommended. | |

I don't disagree with the general sentiment, but in this case, I'm not sure that we are the ones who have the right to forgive or otherwise. | | | |

I took it to infer that if God was watching, the sicko would never have won!
And as for breaking the cycle.......maybe it has now provided him with the funds to continue abusing? He can afford lots of things a 12 year old would like now. When it comes to paedo's, I am highly unforgiving.
If a paedo touched my son, I'd end up in prison for murder. | |

I don't get the story I'm afraid.
Is it suggesting criminals have less chance of winning than people with no convictions and therefore an extraordinary occurrence, or that criminals shouldnt be allowed to gamble?
Either is a bit of a shit story really isnt it. [Post edited 12 Dec 2014 20:40]

You really think so?
I think this story shows that if you scratch below the surface everything is not necessarily what it seems at first glance.
I personally also feel the responses of various posters have provided revealing little insights.
Very worthwhile as far as I am concerned. [Post edited 13 Dec 2014 9:50]

What kind of position would you shaft me in. |
I'd open a big sports bar on The Kingsway. I'd call it The Ivor Allchurch.
Late licence, giant screens playing recordings of our greatest matches and us live when we're on. Huge selection of beers and every whisky under the sun.
How does bar manager grab you? | |
