13. Timothy Elliott
It was 2008 when Timothy Elliott won $1 million prize from the Massachusetts lottery via scratchers commonly found in gas stations. After winning it was discovered that he was on probation for robbing a bank two years prior and therefore buying scratcher (ie. gambling) was against his probation. He was convicted of unarmed robbery and until the scratcher incident was a compliant probate. The court did search for any reason that the court may have to send him back to jail, but they decided that he could keep the money. He was forced to pay the $65 fee that goes to the cost of monitoring him. This fee was previously waived because Elliott had been compliant. Elliott collects $50,000 each year until he reached the total one million dollars, after taxes he receives $35,000. Timothy Elliott has schizoaffective disorder and is monitored by the Mental Department of Health.
