His father owns two delis and he bought the winning ticket at one of his father's delis.

Money is a magnifier of good or bad. Ronnie Jr. is a perfect example.

That was most likely the annuity amount. I was wondering what he walked away with after cash option minus taxes.

Per the check he is holding, 3 million before taxes.

I think that Ronnie Music should have retired from all work/businesses endeavors upon receiving funds from his fairly large net lottery win two years ago! He might not have caused his family, others, and himself these woes.

Ronnie should have simply purchased his family a powerful household Internet package, and studied to become a [nuclear family purposed] conservative-level day trader for 3 hours per day [goal: net 5% annually and live off net interest from investments only]. Ugh.

If Ronnie had been a pirate, l would have relished the thought of him being taken out by the Silent Mary with Capt Salazar at the helm.His famous words being Pirates/ drug dealers have infected society for generations and he had vowed to eliminate them all.

** I hope Ronnie pulls the full stretch.

Not the first time and wont be the last. Quite a while ago, I remember reading about a guy in Ventura County being arraigned for heroin trafficking and asking for a public defender. The DA objected stating that he was a lottery winner and receiving an annuity of $50k a year.

He'll have to get his connections in Federal prison; he already knows the ropes obviously. A shame he had to win the lottery and not get to enjoy it instead of ruining people's lives.

This has to be THE dumbest lottery winner ever. He got exactly what he deserved. The Judge said it right.

Lottery winner gets 21 years for financing drug trafficking operation

Lottery Post — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 21:28:26 GMT

Ronnie Music Jr., a Waycross, Georgia man who sank part of $3 million in lottery winnings into methamphetamine trafficking, will spend the next 21 years in prison on drug conspiracy and firearms charges.

Last July, the 46-year-old Music admitted his involvement in multi-state drug trafficking, including a ring being run from a Georgia prison that he fronted with lottery winnings. He also pleaded guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of firearms.
