Mastermind of lottery fraud admits he rigged jackpots. June 30, 2017
Eddie Tipton, who worked for the Multi-State Lottery Association for over a dozen years:
“I wrote software that included code that allowed me to understand or technically predict winning numbers, and I gave those numbers to other individuals who then won the lottery and shared the winnings with me,” Tipton said when asked by Judge Brad McCall to explain what he did."
"Tipton, a 53-year-old former Texas magistrate judge and a law enforcement officer, said he’s now unemployed and must sell part of his farm to pay the $800,000 in restitution that the judge ordered."
No Jail. It looks like it's worth the risk for some well connected people and most likely happening all over the place.
