POWERBALL WINNER ARRESTED AFTER MAILING EX A CHECK FOR ONE CENT WITH MEMO: “ALL YOU GET”
POWERBALL WINNER ARRESTED AFTER MAILING EX A CHECK FOR ONE CENT WITH MEMO: “ALL YOU GET” ORLANDO, FL — A Florida Powerball winner was arrested Tuesday after allegedly mailing his ex-girlfriend a personal check for exactly one cent accompanied by a handwritten note that read, “Thought I'd send your half.” According to investigators, 29-year-old Tyler Monroe won a $22 million Powerball jackpot earlier this year and had spent months publicly insisting he planned to “stay humble.” Authorities say that promise unraveled after Monroe's former girlfriend, Madison Keller, jokingly commented on social media that she deserved compensation for “putting up with him before he got rich.” Police reports state Monroe responded by ordering a custom presentation box containing: One penny check. A framed photo of the check. A thank-you card reading “Dream big.” A receipt showing the postage cost more than the check itself. Friends claim Monroe also paid extra for signature confirmation and tracking updates. The situation escalated when Keller posted the package online, where it quickly attracted millions of views and thousands of comments. Investigators say Monroe then mailed a second envelope containing another one-cent check with the memo line: “Inflation adjustment.” Witnesses reported he celebrated by buying a custom license plate reading “0.01.” Authorities detained Monroe after a series of increasingly petty follow-up mailings allegedly continued for weeks. As officers escorted him away, he reportedly asked if his arrest paperwork could be rounded down to one cent as well.
