Bank robber wins lottery, faces hearing Dec. 7
faces hearing Dec. 7 BOSTON — The winner of a $1 million lottery scratch ticket may not be so lucky after all: He's a convicted bank robber who isn't supposed to gamble.
Timothy Elliott faces a Dec. 7 court hearing over whether he violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the $800 Million Spectacular game at a supermarket in Hyannis.
Elliott was placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty in October 2006 to unarmed robbery for a January 2006 heist at a bank on Cape Cod. Under terms of his probation, he "may not gamble, purchase lottery tickets or visit an establishment where gaming is conducted, including restaurants where Keno may be played."
Elliott, 55, has collected the first of 20 annual $50,000 checks from the Massachusetts lottery commission. A picture of Elliott, holding his first check, was posted on the lottery's Web site Monday, though it was removed by Wednesday.
As part of his sentence, Elliott was put under the care of the state Mental Health Department and sent to a hospital for treatment, and state officials refused Wednesday to say whether he was still being treated.
A telephone number for Elliott could not immediately be located Wednesday, and it was not clear whether he had a lawyer.
The lottery routinely cross references the names of winners with the state Revenue Department to see if they owe back taxes or child support, lottery spokesman Dan Rosenfield said. In those cases, winnings go straight to the Revenue Department.
But in this case, it will be up to the court to determine what will happen with Eliott's winnings.

clarification
The end of the Crossing is further away than previously reported.
Assistant manager Alex Plassmeyer said the Crossing, a popular bar at 12th and Oread Streets, would close Dec. 20 instead of Dec. 6 as management said earlier this month. Plassmeyer also said there is a possibility that the Crossing would stay open into the spring because of the City Commission's recent action to postpone its decision about Oread Inn. If the bar stays open in the spring, Plassmeyer said it would temporarily close during Winter Break and reopen in late January.
Oread Inn is a proposed seven-story hotel structure that would feature 74 hotel rooms, condos, restaurants and an underground parking garage. The Crossing, Beat the Bookstore, the Yello Sub building and Big Burrito would be demolished if Oread Inn is approved. The developers of Oread Inn must present their plan to the Historic Resources Commission Dec. 20 before presenting it to the City Commission in January.
in brief Student diagnosed with Hepatitis A
Last week, a University of Kansas student was diagnosed with Hepetitis A, according to a KU news release.
Dr. Patricia Denning, Student Health Services chief of staff, said in the press release that the risk for students was low.
Mal Do, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort and yellow skin were all symptoms of Hepatitis A.
Hepititis A is transmitted through the fecal / oral route. Symptoms usually appear about two weeks after exposure.
Vaccinations for Hepetitis A are available at Watkins Health Center. Good hygiene is another way to prevent contracting Hepetits A. Do suggested frequent hand washing, including after using the restroom or changing a diaper and before eating.
