Melanie Davies tampered with tickets to defraud the company out of almost £50,000.

A Scots supermarket worker has been warned she could be sent to prison after she conned the National Lottery out of nearly £50,000.

Davies, of Scott Street, Brechin, admitted to repeatedly pretending to the National Lottery that higher sums were due to be paid out on tickets. Fiscal depute Sam Craib told the court Davies had no previous convictions, but further details of the fraud will be given to the court at her next appearance.
