60 year old women.

So bad guys have to be afraid of suffering the rath of what goes around comes around?

Apparently not for this bad guy.

Jailed rapist in Britain wins $12.6 million dollars in the lottery while still behind bars.

I guess this rapist has even more incentive to come out of
prison alive.

And get this "prison officials said the lottery winning rapist has been moved to a closed prison following his lottery win for his safety".

The pisser is even if he does get out and get the money he will probably rape again.

That is if what people say is true, "a rapist can't help himself".

Hell, the reason he is in jail right now is attempting to rape a 60 year old woman. How sick is that?

A link would be great. Where did he get the lottery ticket?

I did post a link. It's not showing up for you? I see it.
Apparently in Britain you can buy lottery tickets while in prison.

Here's the link again. Just in case.

Thanks. Sometimes things like links and photos don't show up on my browser. :shrug:

I think the rape victim should sue his ass.

Prisoners, at least in the United States, are forbidden from transfering money to other prisoners for any reason at all. So jrv's right--it ain't the other prisoners they're worried about.

This isn't even the weirdest case of bizarre lottery winners. The son of Tony Accardo--aka Joe Batters, the greatest mafia godfather of the 20th century--won the Illinois State lottery back in the 1980s. I don't think it's weird that he won, but it's weird that he was even playing. "Hey, you never know... Someday I could be even more of a millionaire."

It turns out that Accardo was one of them bootstraps fellers. He gave his kids everything but, like Vito Corleone, wanted them to go legit on their own merit. His grandson, Eric Kumerow, actually wound up a first round draft pick in the NFL, but didn't do much. I knew him vaguely a few years ago, and he was running a small (and somewhat struggling) landscaping business.

Think about that: your grandad's the most power mobster in the country for 40+ years, your dad wins the lottery, and you're planting shrubs after blowing out your knee playing professional football. Thank God I had low expectations in life.
