Mastermind of lottery fraud scheme rigged jackpots, collected $2 million in illegal winnings
A former lottery computer programmer has pleaded guilty in Iowa to running a criminal scheme that allowed him to collect millions of dollars in lottery winnings in four other states.
Former Multi-State Lottery Association security director Eddie Tipton on Thursday admitted that he manipulated the computer software he designed, allowing him to provide winning numbers to his brother and others.
Tipton, his brother Tommy Tipton and Texas businessman Robert Rhodes will repay $2.2 million in prizes they improperly claimed in Colorado, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Kansas.
Iowa prosecutors will ask for a 25-year prison sentence for Eddie Tipton.
Tommy Tipton also pleaded guilty Thursday in Iowa and was sentenced to 75 days in jail.
