Win the lottery brehs 
Craigory Burch Jr., the Fitzgerald 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 News 10 in Albany, 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.
According to the WALB-TV story, Burch was in the home with his girlfriend at the time of the robbery and ran for help. No arrests have been made. GBI agents were at the home overnight collecting evidence, according to WALB.
After winning the jackpot, Burch said, "I knew that I would come into money," according to a Georgia Lottery news release. "I couldn't believe it at first. I was stunned. I'm still overwhelmed."
Friends of Burch told WALB that the forklift operator used some of his winnings to buy Christmas presents for people in need.

FITZGERALD, Ga. (January 22, 2016) — A forklift operator who won over $430,000 playing the Georgia lottery was shot and killed during a home invasion, according to police. Friends and family say Craigory Burch, Jr., 30, was targeted because he won $434,272 in November. The victim’s girlfriend says a shotgun blew open the door and three masked, armed men ran inside their home. “When they came in, he said, ‘Don’t do it bro. Don’t do it in front of my kids.’ He said, ‘Please don’t do it in front of my kids and my old lady. Please don’t do that bro. Please don’t.’ He said, ‘I’ll give you my bank card,'” Jasmine Hendricks told WALB. Hendricks said she is certain the suspects were after some of the money he won. “
Ever since he hit the lottery we kept getting calls, text messages, all that, saying, ‘Be careful because people are out for him to rob him,” Hendricks said. Hendricks said during the home invasion, Burch threw his pants at the suspects. After realizing Burch’s wallet was not in the pants, the suspects shot and killed him seconds before fleeing the home. The victim’s mother wants justice for those responsible in the killing. “I want them to know what they took from me. They took a part of my life away from me. My child that I carried and raised for 20 years,” Leslie Collins said. Authorities have not named any suspects in the case.
