Timothy Elliot, a bank robber on parole, won $1million with a scratch off ticket; but gambling violates his parole. A hearing on the matter has been scheduled. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_robber_lottery_winner pinksugarsub

Interesting. I think he still won, but he might be buying a TON of stuff from the comissary in prison and not much else.

I don't know how they do parole up in Massachussets. But here that is really just a technical violation. They have a technical violator's program here seperate from the general population prison. They send them there and they do about a month or two. The prisons are so full, they really can't send everyone back for minor infractrions. I don't see why this guy shouldn't be allowed to keep the money. I do think he's is probably going to be in for a hell of a lawsuit with the state government. After the lawyers are done with it, he won't have much left.

Well the examples they quoted are for funds already being attached (ie: child support and taxes). Unless it's an actual crime for him to buy them and the ticket contract says you can't win if you by them and it's a crime, which of course it does very clearly for minors, I can't see how he didn't win the money. Then again, I haven't read the contract, there could be all kinds of weird stuff in it.
