Craigory Burch, Jr., a forklift operator in Fitzgerald, recently won a nearly half-million dollar jackpot in November 2015.

According to WALB-TV, he was killed overnight on Thursday during a robbery in his home.

Investigators said Burch’s girlfriend, Jasmine Hendricks, was in his home and tried to get help.

She said three masked men ran in the home after blasting through the door with a shotgun.
