The Man Who Purchased the Hot Lotto Ticket

The lottery had been used by organized crime in the past to launder money. Investigators still didn't know how Robert Rhodes obtained the ticket. The investigation continued for another two years without any new information until finally, in October 2013, investigators were led to a lawyer named Philip Johnston in Quebec City, Canada. Authorities were able to locate Johnston because he was listed as the president on the Granter Trust Agreement of Investment Trust that initially claimed the ticket. In exchange for immunity, Johnston agreed to talk.
