Lottery winner wasn't supposed to gamble By MARK PRATT, Associated Press Writer

BOSTON - The winner of a $1 million lottery scratch ticket may not be so lucky after all: He's a convicted bank robber who isn't supposed to gamble. Timothy Elliott faces a Dec. 7 court hearing over whether he violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the $800 Million Spectacular game at a supermarket in Hyannis.

Elliott was placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty in October 2006 to unarmed robbery for a January 2006 heist at a bank on Cape Cod. Under terms of his probation, he "may not gamble, purchase lottery tickets or visit an establishment where gaming is conducted, including restaurants where Keno may be played."

Elliott, 55, has collected the first of 20 annual $50,000 checks from the Massachusetts lottery commission. A picture of Elliott, holding his first check, was posted on the lottery's Web site Monday, though it was removed by Wednesday.

As part of his sentence, Elliott was put under the care of the state Mental Health Department and sent to a hospital for treatment, and state officials refused Wednesday to say whether he was still being treated.

A telephone number for Elliott could not immediately be located Wednesday, and it was not clear whether he had a lawyer.

The lottery routinely cross references the names of winners with the state Revenue Department to see if they owe back taxes or child support, lottery spokesman Dan Rosenfeld said. In those cases, winnings go straight to the Revenue Department.

But in this case, it will be up to the court to determine what will happen with Elliott's winnings.

"This is kind of new territory," he said

I don't know a whole lot about he Lotto but if he paid someone to cash in his ticket wouldn't the earnings go to whoever turns in the ticket? Would u trust someone with your million doller lotto ticket?

I trust my momma

 

[what it thizz]

first off, lottos pay 2 ways:
1) lump sum, which is not the full amount, but you get like 70% of what you've won, and get it at once. This will cause a shitload of income tax tho, more than 50% of that so you're left with less than half of what you should have won.
2) payments over time. The lottery will pay you X $ for X years until they have paid off the full sum. This way you get all of your money, plus uncle sam won't take as much, plus it would be alot harder to spend it all in a few months, like most of the idiots who win it do.

so if he got someone else to cash it for him, he would have to spend the next 20 years of his life making sure that mofo doesn't run off with all his cash. unless he made the guy write him into his will then killed the dude....
