Why This Can't Be News:

And just when you thought the lottery couldn't get any more entertaining, meet James "Shannon" Farthing—our latest millionaire who's been breaking records as fast as he breaks laws. With a rap sheet longer than his list of to-dos after winning $167.3 million, Farthing's criminal resume reads like a who's who of the Kentucky penal code. From strangling girlfriends to selling drugs and even a side hustle in marijuana smuggling with dear old mom, this guy makes the average lottery winner look like a Sunday school teacher. Imagine the scene: Farthing, beaming with joy (and perhaps a bit of relief from his recent prison stay), receives an oversized check while flanked by his 77-year-old mother and girlfriend. It’s like a twisted family portrait where everyone's just happy to see each other out of jail for once. But, oh no, the fun doesn't stop there! Farthing and his girlfriend jet off to Florida without even bothering to tell his parole officer. I mean, who needs permission when you've got millions and a mother-in-crime? This persistent felony offender has spent nearly 30 years in custody, bouncing between correctional institutions like they're his personal hotel chain. And get this—he's managed to rack up a disciplinary record that includes everything from assaults to loansharking and even an "improper relationship" with a canteen staffer. I mean, who hasn't tried to charge inmates for returning their stolen items? It’s just good business sense! So here’s to James Farthing—our latest lottery winner who proves that sometimes, the best way to hit it big is to be a one-man crime wave.
