Man Serving Life Wins Britain Lottery
Well, at least he can trade the money in for 13 million cigs fags… The Brits just seem way too lax over there, letting inmates play the lottery and all… And their life sentences are at the discretion o the judge? What the hell?

A convicted rapist serving a lengthy jail sentence has won $13 million on Britain’s national lottery, a newspaper reported Wednesday. Iorworth Hoare was on weekend release from a low-security prison when he bought his winning ticket for last Saturday’s Lotto Extra draw, the Sun said.
Hoare was nearing the end of a life sentence after being jailed in 1989 for attempted rape. The length of a life sentence is at the discretion of the judge. He had previously served sentences for rape, attempted rape, and indecent assault.
