54岁的Eddie Tipton，曾经是爱荷华的多州彩票协会的计算机程序员。据当地报纸得梅因注册报报道，他对该彩票系统动了手脚，令他和他的兄弟Tommy在几个州赢得彩票大奖。
Tipton was arrested for the fraud along with his brother in 2015. He pleaded guilty last June to installing software that enabled him to rig lottery numbers in his own favor starting in 2005. The hack affected systems in his home state, along with Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. His brother Tommy also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit theft.

In all, the pair won more than $2 million — they'll have to pay back $3 million as part of a plea deal, according to USA Today.
