Ken, who ordinarily never gambles, won $20,677 at a casino birthday party for one of his friends.
The Booths provide the sole support for Ken’s parents, Rod (Social Security number 124809050) and Mary (Social Security number 489376676) Booth, who live in their own home. Ken and Amy live at 2345 Wilson Avenue, Menomonie, WI, 54751, and their Social Security numbers are 343753456 (Ken) and 123457890 (Amy).
