The Florida Lottery is not celebrating its latest winner after it found out he is a convicted sexual predator.
Timothy Poole, 43, posed for a photo after claiming a $ 3 million Super Millions prize this week.
When the photo was released, people recognized him as a registered sex offender.
He was arrested back in 2001 for sexual battery on a child under 12 and served three years in prison.

The Florida Lottery took down the photo after learning about his past.
