Caught rigging the lottery

BGR.com have an article about an insider who fixed the Multi-State Lottery.  The interesting part from our point of view is how he got caught.

In 2012, lottery officials in Iowa grew suspicious when a New York lawyer “representing a newly created trust” withdrew a claim for a $16.5 million jackpot after being asked to reveal who had initially purchased the ticket. Curious as to who in their right mind would turn down $16.5 million, video of the winning ticket purchase was eventually released to the public.
