The record $949.8m jackpot is expected to soar to $1.3bn for Wednesday’s drawing

[barryqwalsh]

Lottery officials have said no ticket has matched all six Powerball numbers. That means the record $949.8m jackpot is expected to soar to $1.3bn for Wednesday’s drawing, which would make it the first time in US history that a lottery has broken the $1bn mark.

The odds to win were one in 292.2m, and the numbers drawn were 32-16-19-57-34 and Powerball number 13.

Prosecutors believe that Tipton, 52, used his access to the machines to surreptitiously install software programs that let him know the winning numbers in advance before disappearing without a trace. They say he worked with associates such as his brother Tommy Tipton — a Texas judge — and Texas businessman Robert Rhodes to play those numbers and collect prizes dating back to 2005.

Earlier this year, a jury convicted Tipton of fraud for fixing a $16.5 million Hot Lotto jackpot dating back to 2010. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison but is free while he appeals.

After fixing the winning combination, Tipton went to a gas station near the lottery association to buy those numbers and then passed the winning ticket to Rhodes, who unsuccessfully tried to collect the prize with associates, prosecutors say. Rhodes is fighting extradition back to Iowa to face charges in the case.

A sure-fire piece of evidence that a lottery is fixed is when nobody wins it.
