Winner Of Florida Lottery Opens Nude Dude Ranch!
He won a cool $3.3 million jackpot, so what did winner of the Florida lottery Tim Clements decide to do with his money?
Open a nude dude ranch of course!
Tim proudly opened the doors for business just a few weeks ago using his winnings from the Florida lottery, but local Brooksville neighbors saw his new sign and started asking questions. And county code enforcement officers were drafted in to check out the ranch.
And unfortunately Tim didn’t realise that providing B&B facilities and spaces for RV’s needed local authority permission, so clothing optional ‘CJ Dude Ranch’ is in danger of closure before it even gets started.
Even if Tim gets permissions he’s still up against a county ‘no public nudity’ policy in force since 2002. But he’s still optimisitic, “my place is so private,” he said, “and I’m always out washing the bus in the nude.”
So the nude cowboy dream is not over just yet. His website still proudly proclaims:-
We are Clothing Optional but you must wear pants and boots to ride the horses.
That rule is a no-brainer right? As Tim says, “you don’t want blisters on your behind, do you?”.
And if you can’t open a nude ranch when you win the Florida lottery, then there’s just no justice in life is there

Bittersweet day for lottery winner
Glen Bell will remember this day, for the best of reasons and the worst of reasons.
Bell is a bus driver, 52 years old. He recently matched his winning numbers in the 649 Lotto, and won $4.3 million. That’s the good news.
The bad news came as Bell and his wife Treva were on their way to the Lottery offices to claim their winnings – they got news of Treva’s father dying unexpectedly. The mood went from elated to somber very quickly.
The Bell’s have decided to use their winnings to improve the lives of others, and they will start with their 3 adult children by buying them houses. They will also pay off their own mortgage. Bell plans to keep his bus-driving job for a little while, until they figure out what to do with the rest of the money.
Lottery winner shops for a car
A British lottery winner goes car shopping. Hmmm…A Ferrari or an Aston-Martin? Tough decision.
Curse of the lottery
This is one Powerball winner who wishes he had never won the lottery.
Store clerk sees opportunity, ends up in prison
It’s a typical scene: customer comes in convenience store and hands the clerk a lottery ticket from the previous day’s drawing to see if it is a winner. Clerk says it is not a winner, and customer is not all that surprised. But what if the ticket was actually a big winner, and the clerk just keeps it and claims the big prize? That is what happened recently to a man in Baton Rouge.
The store clerk, Melissa Trahan, told him the ticket was no good. It was in fact a winner of about $800,000 total. She pocketed the ticket and later gave it to her mother. Her mother agreed to present the winning ticket in return for $150,000 of the winnings.
Store cameras later revealed the scam, and mother and daughter are now in prison. They could be sentenced to as much as 20 years behind bars.
Here’s the sad part – the actual winner may not even receive the money he was rightfully due. The money has been seized by authorities as evidence.
