My only hope is that a Judge never expunges his record/conviction.   

Convicted felon should stay with him until he is looking @ the roots of the Daisies.

Hope he still has to pay restitution.    IMHO this release and parole is a slap in the face of the Judicial system.

Don't foresee MUSL (LOL) ever hiring him again and no reputable firm will either.

Looking at the timeline included in the article is a trip down memory lane.  It's pretty wild that Lottery Post has been covering this story for 11 years now, starting before any kind of crime was known about, to inklings of something wrong, to conviction and imprisonment, to parole.

Hopefully Lottery Post's coverage of this story has helped the public to understand the risks and pitfalls of computerized drawings.  Although computerized drawings have made inroads in some states, I'd like to think that the public's exposure to inherent weaknesses of computerized drawings has prevented the most states from ditching their reliable and secure ball drawings.

Excellent coverage for eleven years!   Read the book as well.

Periodically on Kentucky FB page with pictures to play Pick 3/4 et al I put on there for all to see:  13 APR 2020 the day the mechanical ball drawings went away to the dreaded RNG.  (Private FB msg to them to bring back ball drawings was 'no plans now and we'll bring it up in one of their meetings'.)  Like beating a dead horse...   I have lost the battle, but won the war because the vote with my wallet not playing is showing my protest.

Can we get the numbers for the mega millions at least he could do that lol

I must be missing something in this story.  It states taht Tipton was officially released on parole as of Friday, July 25th.  The last month where the 25th was on a Friday was in March.  Also, it's not even July 25th yet.

Nice work covering the Tipton saga for more than a decade. I have a feeling this won't be the last time he's in the news.

I wonder if he'll buy a MM ticket this week.

Turns out he is banned from playing the lottery.

You misread it. It says July 15.

What new scam will the Tipton Bros. concoct now that they are reunited? l hope he learned a very important lesson not to involve random friends of friends of friends in his schemes. He might have gotten away with it if he just kept it between himself and Tommy.

According the KY Lottery annual report,

"Draw game sales increased $76.9 million or 17.9 percent from 2020 to $506.0 million. Powerball and Mega Millions sales increased $11.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively, as a result of high
jackpot levels. The Mega Millions jackpot hit $1 billion and the Powerball jackpot climbed to $731
million."

And "Pick 3 and Pick 4 games had strong sales this year. In total, these games accounted for a $36.1
million increase in sales compared to prior year".

They might hear your protest but ticket sales paint a different picture. The 2020 Pick 3 sales increased by 17 million from 2019 and increased another 27 million in 2021. Apparently the major of Pick 3 players don't agree with you.

Saw this in a post from a 2012 thread,

"The lottery office is always trying to find a reason not to pay out and i don't see anything wrong the lottery offices are greedy and crooks themeselves their will be alot of people that will claim their winnings in a trust. I know i would because i don't want or need to go public with my winnings i feel like all states should be anonymous."

Ironic how that poster called the lottery people (including Tipton) "crooks" and touted claiming anonymously. What if they simply gave the Hexam Investments Trust a no-questions-asked check?

How can anyone be stupid enough to get into a fight after they have already made parole and is about to be released? For a guy who masterminded such a complicated crime, that was not a smart  decision.
