Former lottery winner jailed
Meiningen, Germany- A former lottery winner who was accused of about 60 thefts after his winnings ran out was sentenced on july 11 to four and a half years in prison by a court in Meiningen, Germany. The man, who won the equivalent of 760,000 euros (38.4 million baht) in the lottery in 1997, was arrested in 2004 when authorities caught him stealing. After he spent all his money, the 49-year-old former millionaire began stealing cars and committing break-ins late in 2003 to keep up the lifestyel he had become accustomed to.- AFP
