Texas Lotto Winner Nabbed in Coke Bust

Jose Luis Betancourt had a huge stroke of luck just before Christmas when his Lotto Texas ticket matched all six numbers, netting him a $7.5 million prize.

But his luck ran out less than a month later when U.S. Customs agents found 1.63 kilograms of cocaine hidden in the dishwasher and pantry of his apartment, according to officials.
