Craigory Burch Jr., the forklift driver who won nearly half of a million dollars in the lottery in November, was killed during a home invasion robbery.

According to WALB in Albany, Georgia, Burch, 20, was shot to death overnight Thursday at a home on Stubbs Avenue in Fitzgerald.

Burch matched all five numbers from the Nov. 29 Fantasy 5 drawing, winning the $434,272 jackpot. He purchased the winning ticket at H&R Food Mart at 1507 Watson Blvd. in Warner Robins.

This is why you don't go public but R.I.P.

Friends of Burch told WALB that the forklift operator used some of his winnings to buy Christmas presents for people in need.

This is horrible He should have either moved to a better neighbourhood or shut his mouth and kept his money in the bank
