Man having 'bad day' wins $1 million on scratch-off ticket

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - A bad day turned into a very good day for a Central Florida man. 

Tavores Tymes, 46, of Altamonte Springs claimed a $1 million top prize from the $5 GOLD RUSH SUPREME scratch-off game.

So broke he has to borrow twenty bucks, then he goes down and buys a lottery ticket with it instead of food.
He got lucky this time but I doubt that money will last him a year.

  2. I think there’s going to be a lot of Hennessy and blunts in Tavores’ future

    1. And more than enough heroin to last for the rest of his life. The good shit, too - no more of that black tar stuff.

  3. Said he was going to invest the money in buying land and being self-sufficient. Considering that is about the hardest work you can do...
    Says he'll pull $800,000 as a single lump sum. After the .gov gets done, he actually gets maybe 400k?
    You really should close out all debts you hold, purchase a very modest home and dependable vehicle outright and then get a job. But as soon as he notices that some girls are interested in what he can buy them, it'll be gone right quick.

  4. I've never gambled nor ever bought a lottery ticket. Back in the seventies a I saw a guy my age win eighty dollars. He was poor as they come. His wife and two kids with him and dressed in dirty rags. Eighty bucks was a lot of money around 74. He turned around and spent every penny on more tickets. The owner of the store, a damn good gal, tried to talk him out of it but he was determined. Eighty bucks worth of tickets and he did not win one dime.

  6. Working in a convenience store, I won $20 on a $1 scratch off. The guy I was working with then spent $25 on the same type ticket, figuring he had to beat me. He got $0.

  7. I don't go to movies, don't even rent them too much free crap on the idiot box.

    So I buy a scratcher every now and then, buy the lucky for life draw when I remember. It's my entertainment money. Kinda fun, win a little back - but I'm fully informed and understand odds.

    Got a good buddy whose van door is STUFFED with scratchers. Fker actually won $100k scratcher, received $60k chk - gotta prepay your taxes. He ran through that fast. Paid off vendors and now, right back to being behind...
