Jumper_Dad Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Lottery winner invested part of $3M prize in meth ring BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A Georgia man could face life in prison after he invested part of his $3 million lottery winnings in a crystal meth ring, reports CBS affiliate WJAX. Ronnie Music Jr., 45, purchased large quantities of the drug meth with lottery winnings he won from a scratch-off ticket. Investigators determined Music was supplying meth to a group of co-conspirators who were caught trying to sell approximately 11 pounds, worth more than $500,000 on the streets. Agents seized more than $1 million of meth, firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple cars and $600,000 in cash as part of the case. Music pleaded guilty to federal drug and gun charges. He could face life in prison. You can't fix stupid and you evidently can't buy common sense either :ohbrother:
formerkywrestler Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 People always harp on lottery winners blowing all of their money. Here a guy goes and makes an investment with incredible return potential and we are calling him stupid?
MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Dude had $600,000 laying around in cash? Classic. Remake of the "Music Man" coming soon on a cable channel to be named later.

To be fair, I'm guessing: 1) It was laying around, it was likely bundled, banded and in plastic bags. 2) He didn't really "own" it, he was just holding it for someone
