Apparently, a deceased woman bought a lottery ticket and won.

Actually, it seems her 38 year old daugher bought it with her stolen credit card. After the daughter drove to Salem to collect her first installment payment of $33,500, police started tracking her. When they raided her home, there was very little money, but plenty of meth. Either the woman bought $33K in meth or stashed the money in case she every got out of prison; which makes the most sense.

I seriously doubt that she was smart enough to stash the payment before being picked up considering she won the lotto with a stolen card to begin with.
