A post-mortem examination of the deceased man uncovered that he had suffered a head injury before succumbing to suffocation. Initially, the discovery of a winning lottery ticket in his compact wallet raised suspicions about possible foul play, given the substantial prize involved. However, after a thorough investigation, authorities concluded that his death resulted from a tragic accident. Police Chief Kyle Romzek suggested that the man likely sustained the head injury while securing his boat and subsequently drowned.

The lottery ticket was eventually returned to his surviving family members, who intend to use the winnings to commemorate his memory. Talaski, the bar owner, reminisced about the man’s excitement upon winning the lottery and his heartfelt plans to visit his relatives in North Carolina with the prize money.
