By definition, lottery winners are lucky people. But sometimes, it appears, these lucky people get a little help.
Eddie Tipton, the former security director of the Multi-State Lottery Association, has been accused of using special software to find out what the upcoming lottery numbers were going to be before they were drawn. Tipton would then allegedly get an accomplice to buy the winning ticket.
Engadget reports Tipton has a history of fraud and was once convicted of tampering with the Iowa lottery. Authorities are now investigating Tipton’s involvement in lottery schemes in 37 other states.
Iowa deputy attorney general Thomas H. Miller feels that the discovery of Tipton’s alleged computer crimes will soon reveal more criminal activity. "It would be pretty naive to believe they are the only four [jackpots involved in the scheme] p. If you find one cockroach, you have to assume there are 100 more you haven't found," he said.
Already, lottery divisions in Colorado, Wisconsin and Oklahoma have confirmed that they awarded around $8 million to Tipton and his partners in crime.
