Dude hacked Lottery Computers

Who needs psychics to reveal future lottery numbers when you can hack into the state lottery association and tamper with it? That apparently was the reasoning of Eddie Raymond Tipton, 51. Prosecutors believe Tipton inserted a thumb drive into a computer-the one that spits out random numbers for the lottery, says an article in the Des Moines Register , according to a report at arstechnica.com. At the time of this purported crime, Tipton was head of security for the Multi-State Lottery Association.
