Ohio Prosecutors Solve $14.3 Million Jackpot Fruad Case

If you remember a few months ago, a NY attorney tried to claim a $14.3 Million Jackpot oh behalf of a trust who he refused to name the members of,  just mins b4 it was to expire. Well the Ohio State Lottery officials refused to pay the claim because the NY Attorney, Crawford Shaw, refused to identify the members of the trust. And then he withdrew his claim on the jackpot after the lottery officials told him either name everyone who owned the lottery ticket or forfeit the jackpot. Shaw eventually with drew his claim on the jackpot and it was forfeited. Well, the lottery officials were not gonna just let it go. They kept investigating and it turned out a lottery employee has been arrested for 2 counts of fraud, 51 yr old Eddie Raymond Tipton.  Tipton was barred by law from purchasing lottery tickets since he worked for the lottery. Well, he wore a hoodie and purchased what would turn out to be a $14.3 Million dollar winning ticket. He then tried to get 2 guys to claim the ticket, but they backed out last minute. Then Tipton tried to hired a Canadian man to claim the ticket and jackpot. But again this guy backed out too. Well, the lottery officials found the Canadian guy and gave him immunity and he spilled the beans to the lottery officials. Right now Tipton has 2 counts of fraud against him. I would wish him good luck, but he was stupid. he should have hired some homeless guy to go buy tickets and then to claim the winners. DUH!!!! hahahaha
