A lottery winner who scooped £5.5million went on to fiddle thousands of pounds in disability benefits while living it up in Spain.
Lawrence Candlish, from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, won the National Lottery jackpot in 1997 - just three years after it was launched - and shared his spoils with several relatives.
He even forked out £370,000 to buy seven homes on the estate where he lived so his family could all live close by to each other.
