Lotto, but not that: the employee of the lottery was caught by fraud

Who among us has not dreamed of winning the lottery? Recalling that a person creates success for himself, the employee of the computer security service of the lottery Hot Lotto decided to make his dream come true . To do this, he slightly corrected the work of computers producing the results of the rally. As a result, the ticket he bought won the jackpot worth $ 14.3 million. But the joy was short-lived.

Prosecutors in court last week reported that they have evidence of cheating. According to them, 51-year-old Eddie Raymond Tipton took advantage of his official position, entered the room where the lottery computers were located, and infected them with malware that allowed him to influence the results of the circulation.

Computers are in a secured and camera-equipped room, and are not connected to the Internet for security reasons. Tipton came into the room allegedly in order to correct the system time of computers. The cameras that record what is happening in the room at that moment were switched to the recording mode of one frame per minute. The “winning” ticket the accused bought about a month later.

This whole story came under investigation only when a fake offshore company demanded a prize on the ticket. By that time, the date of receipt of the prize is almost out.
