While deputies searched for the passenger, they took to social media to try and entice the man to come in.

You can claim your ticket at 498 Chattin Dr. in Canton. It will be here waiting for you. Congratulations by the way,” the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office posted, along with a picture of the winning lottery ticket.
A short time later, deputies updated the post saying the suspect was in custody.
“And yes he will get his lottery ticket back but we are keeping his methamphetamine,” deputies posted.
The ticket had been found in a backpack leftin the car, where deputies found the methamphetamine.
