Eddie Tipton went to prison in 2017 for masterminding the biggest lottery fraud in U.S. history. In a twisting and bizarre tale, he somehow mixed a cocktail of greed, Bigfoot hunting, deception, cybercrime, and a love of hot dogs on his way to a felony conviction after he and several accomplices scored a series of jackpots from rigged drawings but fell short on the biggest "score" of them all. It's a wild story of greed and misplaced confidence, and a study in public officials whose determination survived a nearly cold trail.

Interesting facts in dire need of an editor
Revisado: 03-06-22
“The $80 Million Gamble” is infamous in lottery circles, and it is a testament to the fact that no matter the security systems in place, it takes good people to make those systems work.
However, the amount of repetition in the book leads on to ponder whether multiple people edited the chapters separately. Also, the snarky asides set a tone of a tale being told at a dimly lit roadside lounge rather than a serious examination of the complexities of lottery security and the lives on either side of right and wrong.
