Lottery winners must pay back 50%

    A couple who found a winning lottery ticket and cashed it in have been ordered by a court to pay back half the prize money to the woman who bought it.

    The offenders were convicted of fraud after they found the ticket, cashed it and then spent half of the winning £30,000 prize money on clearing their debts.

    Outside court the legitimate owner of the ticket said, "Who would have believed that winning the lottery could cause so much hassle and for so long."

    LOL
