John Steinbeck could have turned this into a sequel.

Steinbeck wrote a little novel about a similar event and the trouble it caused the peasant man who found “the pearl of the world”.

Sounds like he ran into Sam Elliott.

The police seized the items - two boxes of the unknown substance and a box of oral methamphetamine tablets estimated to contain 16,000 pieces - which were hidden near the family's home. Maybe this man was using his windfall to start a new business.

16,000 drug tablets would bring charges of trafficking.
Trafficking carries the death penalty.

Another example that sudden wealth is not always a good thing.
Having a lot of money in of itself can destroy a person. Unless they are prepared for the problems money can bring they will end up worse off then before they gained the wealth.
Good examples are children that inherit wealth, or an athletic, or someone in entertainment. How many stories have there been of someone who has “earned” millions of dollars only to end up broke.
Which is the reason I don’t play the lottery, I am afraid I might win.

He spent 225k pounds on hookers and meth and blew the rest.

Seems every time someone gets a windfall, instead of paying off their mortgage or buying a bigger fishing boat to boost their business, they head straight to their drug dealer.
