$167M Powerball Winner Arrested for Fifth Time

Winning the lottery is supposed to change your life for the better, but one Kentucky Powerball winner keeps making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

James Farthing won a massive $167.3 million Powerball jackpot in April 2025.

Since then, he has reportedly been arrested five times.

His latest arrest happened September 20 after deputies found him asleep inside a running vehicle in the parking lot of a Walmart in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Authorities said Farthing showed signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He was charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place.

Farthing has faced several other legal problems since becoming a multimillionaire, including allegations involving battery against a law enforcement officer, marijuana possession, burglary and domestic violence-related charges.

Some of those cases remain unresolved, and the allegations should not be considered proof of guilt.

Still, five arrests after winning more than $167 million is definitely going to get people talking.

Most of us imagine that if we ever hit the Powerball, we would be somewhere on a beach, traveling the world or making sure our families were taken care of.

So here is the question: If $167 million suddenly landed in your bank account, what would you be doing with your life?
