Lottery millionaire jailed despite 10K bond
James Farthing went from Kentucky's biggest Powerball winner to life behind bars in just days. After claiming his $167.3 million prize — and vowing to share it with his mother — he celebrated with his girlfriend Jacqueline Fightmaster in Florida. But the trip turned disastrous when Farthing, a convicted felon on parole, got into a bar fight, punched a patron and then kicked a deputy in the face. He's now in jail for felony battery and parole violation. His girlfriend was also arrested for public intoxication.
