Now he can afford to go to the Phillipines like Avante
A convicted sex offender won a $3 million lottery jackpot in Florida and will be able to keep his winnings.
Timothy Poole, 43, won the prize after buying a $20 ticket from a 7-Eleven store in Mount Dora, Florida.
Poole pleaded guilty in 2002 to attempted sexual battery involving two victims under the age of 12, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records.
He was released from custody in 2006.

“It may be hard for some to believe, but sometimes people are wrongly accused,” Poole said in the October report.
There are no laws preventing anyone convicted of committing a crime from winning the lottery. The odds of winning a $3 million jackpot in the Super Millions scratch-off game are 1-in-1,680,000, according to Florida Lottery.

Wait...he originally pleaded guilty but is now "asserting his innocence"?
Congrats though, good comeback story
I haven't read anything other than this about this guy's case, no do I want to, but maybe he plead that way for a plea deal?
