Homeless IL Guy Wins $50K In Lottery, Says He Still Plans To Live In A Tent

BLOOMINGTON - Dennis, otherwise known as "Double D" is 59 years old, travels on foot, and lives outside.

He likes it this way.

"I'm independent, I just love nature," said Dennis.

He's crafted a campsite on the city's west side, spending his days searching for money and food.

"I'm still stuck out here, holding my cardboard sign."

But in a unique twist of events, his worries are being scratched away.
