Did jailed lottery official also help family win?
It's the lottery scandal that shocked America. Former lottery employee, Eddie Tipton, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for rigging a $14 million lottery jackpot in Iowa.
The case was cracked when surveillance videos were released showing the customer buying the winning ticket in a convenience store in Des Moines in 2010.
The customer was later revealed as Eddie Tipton who, at the time, was the director of security for the state lottery.
His ticket had the following winning numbers on it: 03, 12, 16, 26 and 33.
Prosecutors say he hacked into the lottery computers and forced it to select those numbers in the draw.
Tipton was sentenced to ten years in prison for his crime, but now prosecutors are claiming that he may also have used his insider's knowledge to rig a lottery draw in Colorado ten years ago in 2005 - when his brother, Tommy Tipton, a justice of the peace in Texas, won $569,000.
But that's not all, in 2007 one of Tipton's lifelong friends, Robert Rhodes, won a $783,000 Megabucks payout in Wisconsin.
Neither claim has been proven, and Tipton's brother has not been charged. Rhodes is currently fighting the charges he is facing.
