Cops claim winning lottery ticket as proceeds of drug sale

Police in Ellsworth, Maine, are trying to confiscate a drug suspect's winning lottery ticket because they say it's the proceeds of a crime.
Michael David, 46, was charged with selling an undercover cop four 10-mg methadone pills. He's accused of pocketing $60 during the sale, and police say he used part of the proceeds to purchase a lottery ticket that was worth $1,000.
"I guess it will be up to a judge to decide, but it’s in our possession right now as proceeds from a drug transaction," Ellsworth Police Chief John Deleo tells the Bangor Daily News.
