For over 10 years every major LOTTERY jackpot across America was RIGGED by the one man hired to make sure it wasn't. > Eddie Tipton was the director of information security at the Multi State Lottery Association. > His job was to protect the random number generators that decided who won jackpots across nearly three dozen states. > He rigged them instead. > Eddie entered the fortified Drawing Room alone and disabled the cameras to record one second per minute. 59 seconds of every minute were invisible. > He inserted a memory stick that loaded self deleting software into the random number generator. > The software produced winning numbers on three specific days of the year that only he knew in advance. > His brother Tommy, a sitting Texas justice of the peace, won $568,990 in Colorado. > Associates collected jackpots in Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma. > Tipton himself bought a $14.3 MILLION ticket at a Des Moines convenience store wearing a hoodie and walked out. > He forgot about the security camera above the counter. > The ticket sat unclaimed for nearly a year because nobody could figure out how to collect it without being identified. > They tried claiming it through an anonymous offshore trust in Belize. Iowa rejected it. Winners must be identified by law. > The Iowa Lottery released the grainy convenience store footage publicly, hoping someone would recognize the man in the hoodie. > An employee at the Maine Lottery recognized the voice immediately. > It was Eddie. The man who had spent a week auditing their security a few years earlier. > A web developer at the Iowa Lottery recognized it too. She had worked alongside him for years. > 5 states. Multiple rigged jackpots stretching back to 2005. The largest lottery fraud in US history. > Sentenced to 25 years. Served 4 and a half. Paroled quietly in January 2022. > His brother Tommy got 75 days. Every time you bought a lottery ticket on those specific days and lost, the man protecting the numbers already knew who was going to win.
