FILE - In this July 15, 2015 file photo, Eddie Tipton, former security director of the Multi-State Lottery Association, looks toward his lawyers before the start of his trial in Des Moines, Iowa. Tipton is charged with installing software on lotteries' random number generators that allowed him to predict winning numbers on three days of the year. The scheme allegedly lasted for years. A proposed class-action lawsuit filed against the Multi-State Lottery Association on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017, argues that thousands of lottery players who were allegedly cheated by the insider's long-running scheme should be reimbursed for their losing tickets.
