Ken Wayne was surprised 27 years ago when he won $9.6 million in the Pennsylvania State Lottery.
Deerfield Beach voters may be surprised if they elect him mayor in March and find out afterwards he has some controversial political views.
He tweeted and retweeted during the presidential election, but he since appears to have sanitized his Twitter account. Browardbeat.com was sent screen grabs of the tweets.
Wayne, who is running against three others, is an interesting figure.
He was the owner of a baby furniture store and an Erie County Council member in Pennsylvania before winning the lottery. He is now a Realtor in Deerfield Beach.
With his winnings in 1990, Wayne collected military memorabilia, displaying it in a museum he opened. The museum also contained actor John Wayne collectables, according to the Erie Times-News.
The late movie star is not related to candidate Wayne, the newspaper said.
