The pair from Bolton, who had travelled to London to beg on the streets, were dismayed when National Lottery operator Camelot uncovered their fraud.
Two men who thought all their ‘Christmases had come at once’ when they fraudulently netted a £4million lottery prize have been jailed.
The next day, Camelot investigator Stephen Long rang Goodram back and asked about the card used to make the purchase. The pair used stolen card details belonging to a man named Joshua Addiman, who they did not know. Fortunately the victim got his money back from the bank. One of the cards had a £10 prize, which they claimed at the Londis store, and another had the jackpot prize.
Goodram, of no fixed address, has 24 convictions for 48 offences. Watson, of Little Lever, Bolton has 74 convictions for 143 offences.
