The winner of a $1 million lottery scratch ticket may not be so lucky after all. That's because he's also a convicted bank robber who isn't supposed to be gambling.

Boston probation commissioner's office has scheduled a court hearing for December 7 to determine whether Timothy Elliott, 55, violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the "$800 Million Spectacular" game at a Hyannis supermarket, department spokeswoman Coria Holland said.

Elliott already has collected the first of 20 annual $50,000 checks from Massachusetts' lottery commission. A picture of Elliott, holding his first check, was even posted on the lottery's Web site Monday, though it was removed by Wednesday.
