Hope she and other victims get a lot of money from this guy. Don't know if he will put the money to bad use or not. Can't believe the lottery actually let prisoners buy tickets!

Would be perfect if the total of the winnings were distributed to Mrs A and all the previous victims.

Discouraging isn't it. But I do hope they can get the fullest amount of compensation out of him... like ALL of the money he won xD

Unbelievable!!!! isnt it always the lowest scum on earth that for some reason or another manages to make out. Law abiding citizens can barely rub two nickles together and then we have this.

This shouldn't take a court to decide, it should be a given.

he bought a winning lottery ticket in 2004 while spending a few hours outside prison under supervision.

I think the bigger story here is why a convicted felon is allowed to be out buying lottery tickets while still serving time?

Agreed DXXJP & Helter Skelter... how is something like that even possible. In the US criminals automatically lose their winnings (in fact they don't even get to play if I'm correct when they're incarcerated.) if they are arrested for commiting a serious crime during the winning period.

On a similar note a drug dealer (small fry)in the US won 6 million USD or so and was waiting for the money to be transferred into his account, but the feds forfieted his winnings because it was under the assumption the money he used to buy the ticket was with ill gotten gains xD.

This guy shouldn't have even gotten to see the reward money.
