I agree.

You're right. The trooper did nothing wrong. From the IG's report:

The letter indicated that the trooper should share these tickets with his “fellow Troopers.” The letter and promotional lottery tickets were forwarded by the trooper’s supervisor to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Headquarters in Columbus. On February 2, 2009, the OIG was made aware of this incident and an investigation was initiated.
