Original Title: TIL the biggest lottery scam in US history was done by Eddie Tipton, head of the Multi-State Lottery Association's IT security. He felt underappeciated & overworked, so he wrote code that narrowed his odds from 5 million to 1 to 200 to 1. He won drawings in five states worth $24m before his arrest.
