Lottery win teen spends millions on wrestling
A 19-year-old who won $17m on the lottery has spent much of his winnings developing a female wrestling league.
Jonathan Vargas, who scooped the win in May 2008, thinks his Wrestlicious production can rival established wrestling leagues like WWE.
He says the wrestling business was the obvious thing for him to invest in when he won the cash, he even plans to star in his show which is due to launch later this year.
Surrounded by wrestling babes he will play the role of "JV Rich" the affable Rapper/Owner of Wrestlicious.
Oddly at the time of his win Vargas said he would avoid a flash lifestyle of expensive cars and houses… oh how a year of having $17m in the bank can change you.

"It’s definitely always been a dream to be in the wrestling business" said Vargas.
"I grew up watching Jimmy Hart, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs, and it seems surreal that they are all part of Wrestlicious now.
"We have assembled some of the best producers and talent in the business, and I know in my heart Wrestlicious will be a home run"
