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.

波士顿-
百万美元的刮刮乐彩票得主毕竟没有那么幸运：他是一名恐怕不该参与博彩活动的定罪银行劫匪。蒂莫西。埃利奥特目前正面临12月7日的出庭应讯，审理他在海尼斯超市花10美元购买8亿美元的精彩赛事（Spectacular game）彩票时，是否违反其缓刑处罚规定。


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."

埃利奥特曾于2006年1月在Cape Cod一家银行实施徒手抢劫，2006年10月他已对此认罪，并随即被处以5年缓期徒刑。在执行缓期徒刑期间，他“不许赌博、购买乐透彩票或造访任何一家经营赌博的企业，包括可能有Keno游戏的餐馆”。


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.

埃利奥特， 现年55岁，已经从马萨诸塞乐头委员会那里领取20张年度额为50,000美元的支票。埃利奥特手持第一张支票的照片周一曾被贴到乐头网站上，不过周三已被删除。


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.

作为对他判决的一部分，埃利奥特已被置于州精神卫生署的监护之下，并被送往一家医院接受治疗，州政府官员周三拒绝说出他是否仍在接受治疗。


A telephone number for Elliott could not immediately be located Wednesday, and it was not clear whether he had a lawyer.

为埃利奥特设置的一个电话号码周三无法立即接通，至于他是否聘有一名律师，也不清楚。


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 Rosenfeld said. In those cases, winnings go straight to the Revenue Department.

乐透的例行程序是与州税务部门互相参照得主的姓名，以了解他们是否拖欠税款或子女抚养费，乐透发言人丹罗森菲尔德说。在这些情况下，得主要直接去找税务部交涉。


But in this case, it will be up to the court to determine what will happen with Elliott's winnings.

不过在此案中，将由法院来决定埃利奥特获奖一事该如何处理。


"This is kind of new territory," he said.

“这是一种新的领域，”他说。
