$10M Lotto Winner Gets Prison In Fatal SoCal Crash

Published: August 16, 2008
CALIFORNIA - A man who won $10 million in a California lottery game has been sentenced to more than 17 years in prison for a drunken-driving crash that killed three people.
Thomas Turnour had pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and causing injury while driving intoxicated.
The winner of a SuperLotto game in 2001 was sentenced Friday in San Bernardino.
Authorities say the 52-year-old man from Victorville was driving a pickup truck that hit a car stopped at a red light in San Bernardino three years ago. Three people inside the first car died.
His attorney says Turnour essentially "turned over everything he has" to settle a lawsuit filed by the victims' families.
