A man who won $3 million on a scratch-off lottery game last year in
Waycross, Georgia, invested all of his winnings in a crystal meth
trafficking ring, federal prosecutors say.
Ronnie Music, Jr, 45, plead guilty to federal drug trafficking and
firearm charges during a plea hearing last week. Evidence presented in
the case suggested Music worked with a group to gain access to and
distribute methamphetamine throughout Georgia.
Some of Music's conspirators were caught trying to sell about 11 pounds of crystal meth, valued at more than $500,000. Music was revealed as the supplier during the investigation. Agents
seized over $1 million worth of methamphetamine, a large cache of
firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple vehicles, and over
$600,000 in cash.
"Defendant Music decided to test his luck by sinking millions of dollars of lottery winnings into the purchase and sale of crystal meth," United States Attorney Ed Tarver said in a press release. "As a result of his unsound investment strategy, Music now faces decades in a federal prison."
