As soon as the driver stopped, the suspect jumped out of the car and fled the scene, leaving behind his winning ticket and some methamphetamine, officials said.
“You can claim your ticket at 498 Chattin Dr. in Canton,” authorities wrote, referring to the address for the sheriff’s office.
“It will be here waiting for you. Congratulations by the way,” the post reads.
About a half-hour later, deputies announced that the man had just been found and was already in custody.“And yes he will get his lottery ticket back," officials said on Facebook, “but we are keeping his methamphetamine.”
