I knew someone who went to jail at 18 for like 12 or 20 years or something like that.

Basically he was at college on a football scholarship. Did armed robbery. He never pulled the gun but they had them on them when they did the robbery.

Ended up being addicted to crack and died a few years ago.

He did win $300,000 on a lottery scratch off at one point. He was also addicted to those.

how much crack can you buy with $300k?

Enough to die, apparently.

Like five or six I think

He moved to Florida with his family. I think this was before he was on drugs. But he totally had a gem long addiction. He did buy a really expensive suv, I’m pretty sure they wasted it.
