Court Out:£4 Million Lotto Winner.

Edward Putman, a used car salesman, won a large sum of £4 million in 2009 on a Lotto win and was still claiming benefits for nearly 2 years afterwards. Mr Putman asked for ‘no publicity’ from the Lotto organisers when he won the jackpot. He then carried on claiming income support and housing benefit. He apparently intends to plead guilty to two charges of dishonestly failing to notify the Department of Work and Pensions of a change in circumstances and will pay the benefits money back.
