Florida 20-Year-Old Clocked At 199 MPH In His Dad’s Camaro

One Florida guy appears to have tried to turn his dad's Camaro into a real life video game. According to the Miami Herald, when he was clocked at 199 mph on the Florida Turnpike (a 70-mph zone), he even had a camera set up in the back seat to record for his Instagram.

The driver and a passenger were arrested when Orange County deputies noticed the Camaro street racing near Orlando. There was even a 16-year-old boy in the car who could've probably messed his pants in the ordeal. That boy was turned over to his probably extremely freaked-out, angry, and disappointed mother.

The turnpike derby was discovered when 911 callers reported a bunch of cars lining up near an intersection on the road. A deputy watched as the red 2016 Camaro and another car start up a race. Additional deputies were brought in to stop the Camaro and put the 20-year-old driver and 19-year-old passenger in handcuffs. They were charged with racing on a highway. The driver's father was lucky enough to be able to get to the scene and get his car back. Deputies did not say if the son had permission to use the Camaro or if he pulled a "Grand Theft Auto" on his dad. When the car was searched, a black Insta 360 X3 Camera with mounting stick was found. Luckily, no drugs were found because one had better be sober if one tries to drive just short of 200-mph.

Just last year, the Orange County Sheriff's Office made 157 illegal street racing arrests! For this 20-year-old arrested just after 1:00am Sunday with pop's Camaro, jail will probably be a walk in the park compared to what he'll experience next time he sees his dad.

For those of you who follow my posts (thanks Mom!) you're probably aware that I love Florida Lottery Scratch Offs. I also love it when I hear that someone has gone down to the Fort Myers Florida Lottery office to cash in a big ticket. Just yesterday we learned of Barbara Arnesen of Lake Placid, who cashed in her one million dollar winning ticket. She was playing the One Million A Year For Life ticket when she hit it big. So, how do you know which ticket to get?

Well, one thing you could do is play a ticket that is brand new. It seems like someone hits a fairly decent prize right out of the gate. Take for instance the Florida Lottery scratch offs that just came out this week.

As of today, the 500x card has already had 6 people cash in $20,000 winners. The 100X has had 6 people redeem $10,000 prizes. Even the $5 - 50X ticket has had 3 people cash in $10,000 winners. That's 3 days after they first hit stores, and, more importantly, those are the tickets that have been redeemed. How many winning tickets are at home in a safe because they can't make it to the lottery office until next week? That's a lot of money in just a few short days, but - none of the "X The Cash" tickets have had any jackpots cashed in yet. Yet. My money is on that happening soon. But what happens if you get to the gas station and they don't have these tickets? Do you look at the ones they do have and just guess? You don't need to.

One of the big reasons new tickets are so popular is because people know that all of the jackpot winning tickets are still available. But again, what about the others? Some of the tickets have no grand prize winners left. It's not as much fun scratching a ticket if you can't win the big prize. But how do you know? The Florida Lottery lists all the data on their website. And I'm going to break it down for you. These are the Florida Lottery tickets where all of the grand prizes have already been claimed. This data is current as of 1/18/2024.

If this game looks familiar, it's because it came out back in September of 2022. All of the $500,000 grand prizes have been claimed. And there's only 2 of the $10,000 prizes left.

8 people have claimed the $2 million dollar prize on this one. And that's all there is. Of the 204 $10,000 prizes, there's only 8 of those remaining.

The 2 dollar ticket of the same game. Same thing, too. All of the $100,000 grand prize tickets are gone. It is interesting to see that 15 of the $2,500 winners are still out there.

I think people buy the crossword tickets because they take longer. With this one, however, all of the 2 million dollar grand prizes are gone. There's still 2 of the 20 $100,000 winning tickets remaining.

This ticket has quite the draw. For just $2 it's a chance to win $1,000 a week for life. Unfortunately, they've all been claimed. And all 8 of the winners took the cash option of $930,000. Nobody has patience. Ha.

This has been a popular game. So popular that most of the big prizes have been claimed. There are no 5 million dollar tickets left and only one 1 million dollar ticket remaining. All of the $100,000 winners are gone, too. It's a $20 ticket that takes a long time to find out if you won something. Maybe pass on this one.

Lol. All of the rest have been winners remaining. If I didn't mention your favorite scratch off - you have a chance.

I'm liking the new ones. The $50 500x The Cash ticket has 2 $25 million and 160 $1 million dollar winning tickets. The $10 100x The Cash has 10 $2 million dollar winning tickets.

Good luck everyone! And Play Responsibly.
