Nothing makes sense here. This convicted felon gets a second chance at life and he goes back to doing what landed him in jail in the first place? Darwin recipient.

Lol! Whoever said buying your way into the drug industry isn't an investment? Apparently, he and I'm assuming his small mini cartel had things under control until he got caught.

During the monster powerball craze a Fox 5 news reporter was asking people at the Primm Valley Liquor Store what would they do if they won The powerball. This one guy said he'd buy a bunch of hookers and cocaine this Georgia guy reminds me of that guy. The lottery is a funny place where good/bad/dumb people can be instant or over night millionaires. Maybe the state lotteries should do back round checks on lotto winners before signing the big check to anyone with bad intentions.

That guy is a special kind of stupid. If used properly, that amount of money could've turned his life around for the better. Once a piece of trash, always a piece of trash in most cases, unfortunately.

What a prick he is by selling that poison...A rope and a tree limb will cure this problem, not jail time or fines...

Ron White was right: you can't fix stupid. Why can't I win that? It's not record jackpot money, but I'm still free from working if I plan right.

koe,

No doubt there are problems in the USA. As there are in every country around the world.

But, if the USA is SO crappy for you, why are you still here? If it's so bad for you, you would find a way to go to China, or where ever.

I have no qualms with convicted felons getting a 2nd chance but whether it's freedom or a huge windfall, they always seem to squander the opportunity and this case is just another example.

Comment #51

Kingofearth — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 05:10:10 GMT

That is the most messed up part of this story. Anders Breviek got sentenced to 25 years for killing dozens and this crappy country could send you to prison for life just for making and selling something? Drugs need to be punished and punished severely, but life is not a fair amount.

This by far will go down in history as my absolute favorite lottery fail. Still can't stop laughing. It's priceless.

If someone had put this premise in a book no one would consider it believable.

This beats out Hot Sauce, 400 pairs of pants and boob jobs combined

Teddi — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 04:37:14 GMT

If he'd followed the show at all he would have known he needed to put money aside for lawyers and for hush money for crew members who got busted in order to keep them quiet. And if that didn't work, well, we know how Walter White handled that scenario.

Michael Douglas playing iconic role of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street said it best

A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place .

Maybe he watched one episode too many of Breaking Bad. This genius was a fool's fool. Lady luck was seriously sloshed when she laid eyes of that guy.

Zoom in on his face. An almost broken man looking for a break. The win could

have been it but he chose to do wrong again. At least he and his portion of

poison are off the streets.Very small victory though, there are always replacements

100 times over.

That should have been a little under $2 million after taxes. While that may not have been enough for him to retire immediately, it could have made his life a lot less stressful.

Maybe, someday luck will shine upon me.

That's my least favorite type of person: A professional criminal. Glad he got caught, probably very snip y with the I'm above the law type of attitude. Bubba will fix his attitude very quickly in prison; he will be the pretty boy in the block.

At least setup an alias for your drug operation, such as Heisenberg , keep your house and property clean of all illegal activities, and don't have $600,000 sitting in your local bank account available for seizure. TV can be so educational

If they did they would find this on Mr. Music;

Confiscated were 11 guns, a house, a Dodge Charger and a 2015 GMC Sierra, plus $600,000 that was in his bank account. Past events include a conviction of making terrorist threats in 2003. He was additionally convicted of possessing a prohibited weapon and for being a felon in possession of a firearm. His rap sheet also includes a 2009 incident involving the operation of a meth lab resulting in a 10 year conviction but was released on parole in 20... [ More ]

Ronnie could simply have been following the advice of people who have money, you want to make it last-invest. He probably saw the current rates told himself that he can double, even triple his investment because demand for the product is off the charts.

Is it just me or does Ronnie look a lil like Boromir without the long hair.

Bleudog101 — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:03:59 GMT

It's about time TLC did a story called 'Whatever happened to the lottery winner?'. He'd be right up there with Jack Whitaker, David Edwards et al, though they did have a segment on both of them it needs updating.

So now he has thrown his life away and in the poorhouse, sad, very sad.

Georgia man pleads guilty to drug trafficking, gun charges

A Georgia man who won $3 million in a scratch-off lottery game last year invested his winnings in a crystal meth trafficking ring, according to federal prosecutors.

Ronnie Music Jr., 45, pleaded guilty last week to federal drug trafficking and firearm charges.

Music decided to test his luck by sinking millions of dollars of lottery winnings into the purchase and sale of crystal meth, U.S. Attorney Ed Tarver said. As a result of... [ More ]
