 he installed self-deleting software that rigged the selection of
winning numbers in games that use random number generators. 

Tipton installed what's known as a root kit that allowed him to
manipulate the winning numbers. According to court documents, he was one
of four people with access to the Hot Lotto "draw room." In 2010 he
entered the draw room to update the lottery system for daylight saving

rig Hot Lotto drawings, thereby flipping Hot Lotto's 29 million-to-1
odds of winning a jackpot.
