Sex attacker wins £7m on lottery
A man serving life for attempted rape has won what is believed to be
£7m on the National Lottery.
Iorworth Hoare, 52, was on release from Leyhill open prison in
Gloucestershire when he bought his winning ticket for Saturday's Lotto
Extra draw.
He is understood to have been staying at a bail hostel in
Middlesbrough.
The size of his winnings has not been confirmed by Camelot, but
Saturday's £21m Lotto Extra jackpot was shared by three winning
tickets.
Hoare was nearing the end of a life sentence after being jailed in
1989 for a number of sex attacks, including attempted rape.
Under Home Office guidelines, prisoners on temporary release from jail
are allowed to play the lottery.
The Prison Service confirmed a prisoner had won a lottery prize.
A spokesman said: "We are aware a prisoner on release on a temporary
licence has participated in the lottery and we understand that he has
won a substantial amount."
But the service would not comment on reports that, following the win,
Hoare had been moved to a closed prison for security reasons and his
own safety.
National Lottery operator Camelot said it could not confirm or deny
the names of Saturday's Lotto Extra winners.
A spokeswoman said: "We had three Lotto Extra winners and one lottery
winner. One of the Lotto Extra winners has still not claimed.
"The other winners were all no-publicity winners, so we are unable to
release any details about them."
Hoare is not the first lottery winner to be serving time.
Former dustman Michael Carroll, 21, of Downham Market, Norfolk, who
won a £9.7 million jackpot, was jailed last month for five months for
various drugs offences after he breached a drugs testing and treatment
order.

I could certainly do with a bit of that kind of mystery in my life!
