A sexual predator won a $3-million Florida lottery jackpot.
Timothy Dale Poole was convicted in 2002 of attempted sexual battery of a victim under 12 years of age, police records show.
He was sentenced to 13 months' time served and 10 years' probation, but in 2003 another judge revoked his probation and sent him back to prison for three years after he was kicked out of his mandatory sex offender counselling for missing four group sessions, according to WKMG in Orlando.
The six-foot, 450-lb. Poole is listed as a "sexual predator" on the Florida state registry.
On Saturday, he bought a state lottery scratch ticket at a 7-Eleven store near his home in Mount Dora, about 400 km northwest of Miami, and hit the jackpot, WKMG reports. He chose to take his winnings in a lump sum payment of $2,219,807.90.
Poole told the TV station in November that he'd been wrongly accused.
