I mean, we all have our own ways of celebrating, don't we?
This Kentucky man just made himself an honorary Florida man with this story.
James S. Farthing, who goes by Shannon, found out Sunday that he won the state's biggest ever jackpot after his mother called him, according to a media release from the Kentucky Lottery. The lottery said Farthing and his mother were splitting the winnings.
Isn't that sweet? This man and his elderly mother are splitting a $167 million lottery jackpot, the biggest win in Kentucky history.
Here's what Shannon had to say when he went to pick up the winnings:
In an interview with WKYT-TV that Sunday, Farthing said the winnings would help his mother.
'I've caused a lot of stress on her, you know, I've made some bad decisions in life and, you know, God's been good because I've kept my faith and done right,' he told the news station.
The man is reformed! He's caused some trouble in the past, but all of his troublemaking is in the past.
I'm sure that Shannon celebrated the big win responsibly, right?
But Farthing, 50, was in a Florida jail by midweek, according to media reports. He has been charged with battery of a police officer and resisting arrest after a Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy was attempting to break up a fight between Farthing and another person in a hotel when Farthing kicked the officer in the face, according to a police report written Tuesday.
Dude picks up the millions on Monday in Kentucky, then is already in jail for getting into a fight in a hotel in Florida and attacking an officer by Wednesday.
Absolutely clutch performance from my man Shannon here.
