Boston: A convicted bank robber, Timothy Elliot, who is not supposed to be gambling has won US$1 million from the “$800 Million Spectacular” game. He bought the US$10winning lottery scratch ticket from a supermarket.
The state probation commissioner has started a hearing to determine if Timothy has violated his probation when he bought the ticket.
Elliot has already collect and probably enjoyed the money, from the first of his 20 annual US$500,000 checks from the Massachusetts’ Lottery Commission.

Is this considered gambling? The lottery tickets are sold openly in supermarkets, etc. It’s not the Las Vegas’ casino type of gambling. Give him a break. I would suggest to the state probation commisioner to provide Timothy financial counselling to help him invest his winnings wisely.
