A Florida woman's celebration after winning a $20,000 lottery prize was short-lived after she and her son were arrested Tuesday on drug charges.
Migdalia Cruz, 59, and Luis Correa, 39, were arrested on suspicion of selling heroin within 100 feet of a school and various possession charges, respectively, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Another woman, Dana LaFlamme, 34, was arrested on suspicion of possessing ammunition by a convicted felon and driving with a suspended license.

Cruz had just returned from nearby Orlando, where she and Correa redeemed the $20,000 prize for a winning scratch-off ticket, when deputies arrived at her Deltona home with a search warrant.
Correa was outside holding three bags of drugs, which tested positive for heroin and fentanyl, the statement said.
A search of the home yielded more heroin, prescription pills, ecstasy, cocaine residue and drug paraphernalia, according to authorities.
