How a lottery ticket, a hot dog and Bigfoot foiled the largest lottery fraud in US history.
Your day’s going great… and then you get the unexpected call that a fraud may have occurred under your watch. Your decision and direction could affect jobs, your business and personal friendships.

The audience will leave with:
- A sense of pride for overseeing compliance and internal fraud
- Little-known details about a well-known US lottery case.
