No, it was not. The Iowa lottery held a special giveaway for its portion of the prize, but the other states that participated were free to do what they wantes with it, be it return it to the prize pool or go to where unclaines prizes go. I know of only iowa that did something with thier share.

Good question - that person was defrauded of $3 million. I would think the next real jackpot winner after the fraud jackpots would also feel pretty cheated. That $16 million wasn't paid out but was it returned to its rightful place in the jackpot sequence and given to the next winner(s

Noisegates signature line seems befitting for this topic. Tipton thought the same way!

Actually this is great PR for states to say how they now invest more in security and authentication of draws...So they now will have to up the odds and cost to cover the upgraded systems. The customer pays for all this mind you...

Tipton's brother Tommy Tipton, a Texas magistrate, buys the winning ticket for a $4.5 million Colorado Lotto jackpot. Two other winning tickets are sold, and investigators suspect one of them also is tied to the scheme.

So that means that there is 1 ticket not tied to the fraud. Will this true winner of the colorado lottery get the rest of their rightful winnings. I can say that there are going to be people who will continue to play but there are also people who will no longer play... [ More ]

With this story they will start to think about security.

Putting a security agent isn't all you need. Sometimes you must shut a lock with a key.

With so many people involved they were eventually going to be found out and caught.

Add all the hours of work and effort that all investigators, justice system, lottery employees, and LP Staff have put into this case. Eddie Tipton and his co-conspirators were only thinking of themselves. Selfish greed.

Eddie Tipton, the now-infamous former security chief at the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), is accused of installing software on Random Number Generators that allowed him to predict winning combinations for drawings that occurred on three dates every non-leap year Nov. 23, Dec. 29 and May 27.

So far, Tipton and his associates have been linked to winning tickets in five states between 2005 and 2011. Here are the details:
