We all know the Florida Man is crazy and has his own set of ideas when it comes to what's right and wrong, and one Florida rapper turned speedster was caught with a bible and drugs.
The incident took place Wednesday night in Polk County when police saw two vehicles racing on Highway 60 in Lake Wales, one at a speed of 86 mph and the other at 96 mph. Maybe they didn't see the deputy, or didn't care, but their racing came to an abrupt end when both the men were pulled over. The driver going 96 was given a ticket, but the one going 86 didn't get so lucky. Why? Because he had a lot more going on that just driving over the speed limit.
This Florida rapper, 34 year-old Brice Larome Chaney, not only was going almost 100 mph, but he also didn't have a valid driver's license. Not good right? Well, it gets worse. According to WFLA, Chaney also was driving with 20 grams of cannabis along with plastic baggies. But he did have a bible. Maybe he thought the power of Jesus would save him from getting into trouble. But it didn't work on this officer. When asked where he got the drugs, Chaney said that he's a rapper and that a lot of people give him stuff.
Needless to say, the "drugs aren't mine" line didn't work. We see it all the time on shows like COPS and On Patrol Live. In fact, this isn't Chaney's first rodeo when it comes to run in's with the law. This guy has quite a history not only in Florida, but in Georgia as well. Things like trespassing, drug possession, criminal damage to property..the list goes on.
And now another charge to add to the list. Maybe as he sits in the Polk County Jail this Florida rapper will write a new verse about it.
7 is often viewed as a lucky number, so when I saw that there were 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Offs with all their top prizes still unclaimed, I saw it as a sign. It's time to take a look at some Florida Lottery tickets that could score big. One note - this data is as of 7/24/24, so these tickets that I'll mention have all their winners out there as of today. It's always possible that someone is holding a winner that hasn't cashed it in yet.
Losing Money On Florida Lottery Scratch Offs
There is one ticket on this list I'm very familiar with, because I tried and failed. It's the $50 500X The Cash ticket with a grand prize of $25 million. It has a secondary prize of $1 million that has been hitting. In July this ticket has had million dollar winners in Ocala, Hollywood, and Fort Myers. 2 of those winners were bought at Publix. So I dropped a hundred down on two tickets at the Publix in Estero and got - absolutely nothing. Losing a hundred bucks on lottery tickets stings a bit. But, you can't have big winners if you don't have losers. And that was me.
$1 Million A Year For Life
An update on this particular game. There's 2 big winning tickets for the 'Million a Year For Life' and one of them has been claimed. MARQUIS ALLEN ANDERSON of Fort Lauderdale, Florida won the big prize. A million dollars a year for the rest of your life. Marquis took the cash option and got the lump sum of 16 million. That's a tough decision.
The 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Offs With All Top Prizes Remaining
So let's get to why we're here. As of today there are 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Off tickets with all of their top prizes still on the board. As I learned, using this method doesn't guarantee you a winner, it just means that no one has hit big, yet. Good luck. All information is courtesy of the Florida Lottery website.
$20 MONOPOLYâ„¢ SECRET VAULT
The Florida Lottery issued several new Monopoly games on July 1st. This is the $20 one. 4 people can claim a $5 million dollar grand prize, and no one has yet.
$10 MONOPOLYâ„¢ SECRET VAULT
EDIT: As I was writing this article, this ticket updated and showed that one of the four $2 million dollar winning tickets had been claimed. The winning ticket was sold at the Speedway on Palm Beach Blvd in Fort Myers. So - 3 of the 4 big winners are still out there.
$5 MONOPOLYâ„¢ SECRET VAULT
For 6 lucky scratchers, $5 can get you a million. Like the other Monopoly cards, this one just came out so there's not a lot of data on them. The Monopoly cards are always popular, so I'd definitely expect to see these at the counter.
$2 MONOPOLYâ„¢ SECRET VAULT
I love the $2 tickets because they're great for gift giving. Shove 5 of these in a birthday card and you are good. Want to really feel good? Hand some out at a nursing home. 8 grand prize winners will win $100,000.
$1 MONOPOLYâ„¢ SECRET VAULT
A big thank you to the Florida Lottery for still making $1 tickets. I wouldn't blame them if they didn't, with inflation, their profit margin on these cannot be great. The same things I said about the $2 tickets holds true with the $1 ones. Great for gifts. EDIT: Ok, so 2 of the 20 $10,000 grand prize tickets have been claimed. One in Boynton Beach at a Publix, and one in Haines City at a 7-11. So, 18 of the 20 top prizes remain.
GOLD RUSH LEGACY
Ok, let's get away from the Monopoly games and on to this one. It's a bit of an outlier in that the game came out in April and none of the four $10 million dollar grand prizes have been claimed, yet. The secondary prize of $1 million still has 17 of the 20 winning tickets out there. It's a $20 ticket that seems to not be hitting. Is it due? Who knows. I'm just putting out the data, but I do plan on looking for this one when I go to Publix tonight. Wish me luck.
500X THE CASH
There's my nemesis. I dropped a hundred dollars picking up 2 of these and won nothing. The game has two $25 million dollar winning tickets out there and 121 of 160 of the $1 million dollar winning tickets yet to be claimed. The Florida Lottery released this game back in January, so it's not new. It's just that no one has hit it big yet.
Wil You Win With These Tickets?
I hope you do, but as I mentioned - I didn't. I started doing these lists because I didn't want to ever buy a ticket that had all the winning tickets gone. It's not like they tell you at the store. If a game says "You could win 5 million", I want to know that I can. Not find out later that all the big winners were gone. These 7 tickets I listed give you a chance. And that's all you can ask for.
Good luck, and as the Florida Lottery says **play responsibly**
