Convicted Bank Robber Won $1 Million

Judge Says Ex-Con Can Keep Lottery Winnings

BARNSTABLE, Mass. -- More good luck has come to a convicted bank robber who won $1 million Massachusetts lottery prize.

A judge said Timothy Elliott can keep his winnings even though he violated probation when he bought the scratch-off ticket.

Elliott was put on five years probation after pleading guilty in 2006 to robbing a Cape Cod bank. Part of that probation included no gambling or buying lottery tickets.



His lawyer called the violation minor.

Elliott has already gotten his first of 20 yearly $50,000 checks.

He will now have to pay a $65 monthly probation supervisory fee, which had been waived because he was indigent.

He now also has to pay all back owed child support before he will see a penny of those winnings.... over 30,000.

At least those kids of his will get a break... shame disbelief
