Hayley Tarry, 31, won more than £512,000 on the EuroMillions draw
A newsagent who sold herself a winning lottery ticket cheated the taxpayer out of £10,000 in benefits after she blew all her windfall.
Hayley Tarry, 31, won more than £512,000 on the EuroMillions draw when she bought a ticket on a whim because she was ‘feeling lucky’ six years ago.
Magistrates heard that she soon spent all the cash – lavishing gifts on family and friends, investing in property and paying off debts.
However, when the money ran out Tarry failed to tighten her belt.
Instead she funded her extravagant lifestyle by claiming around £10,000 in Jobseekers Allowance and Council Tax Benefit she was not entitled to.
Yesterday Tarry, who plays the cornet in a brass band, admitted two counts of failing to disclose a change of circumstances to the Department of Work and Pensions and Blackpool Council.
The court heard she had originally faced charges relating to more than £20,000, but the figure was halved following negotiations between the Crown Prosecution Service and defence counsel.
Victoria Cartmell, prosecuting, told Blackpool Magistrates’ Court that officials were applying for a Proceeds of Crime Order to recover the missing cash from property owned by Tarry, who will be sentenced next month.
Tarry won the lottery when she ran a newsagents and general store on Fleetwood Road, Cleveleys, near Blackpool, in October 2006. She bought the lucky dip on the afternoon of Friday the 13th after ‘feeling lucky’ while working in the shop.
‘It’s really strange, but something good always happens to me on Friday 13th,’ she said at the time.
‘And since a money spider had walked across my hand earlier that day, in my mind I knew I was in for a win on EuroMillions.
‘But I could never imagine it would be over half a million.’

She matched five main numbers, plus one Lucky Star number, and was awarded her £512,089 cheque by Emmerdale actress Deena Payne, who played Viv Hope, in the soap.
At the time Tarry pledged that the money wouldn’t change her.
She said: ‘I will always remain a humble newsagent.
‘Someone has to win and I’m just lucky it was me.
‘It’s just proof that if you just believe then it does happen every now and again.’
Tarry planned to spend thousands of the cash on a dream wedding to her then fiancé, Chris Campbell.
‘We’re going to have a classic vintage car and we’ve already got our perfect venue,’ she said after her win, adding: ‘We’re still planning the honeymoon and we’re going to have a big holiday.
‘I fancy a safari then a beach somewhere, but I think Chris wants to go to the Maldives. If it’s good enough for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes it should be fine for us!’
The couple, however, never actually married. Tarry, who has a previous conviction for selling alcohol to a child, dating back to 2009, is currently living in Munich.
In December last year another lottery winner, Andrew Crossthwaite, 23, also found himself in court for fiddling benefits after he blew all his winnings on cars, drugs and gifts for friends.
Celebration: Hayley won more than £500,000 on a Friday the 13th draw – and claimed her luck was down to seeing a money spider earlier that day
Preston Magistrates’ Court was told that unemployed Crossthwaite scooped £250,000 on a National Lottery scratchcard, but failed to notify the DWP about his win and continued to wrongfully claim £4,614 in employment and support allowance, the new version of incapacity benefit and income support.
Crossthwaite was placed on a one-year supervision order, with 36 hours at an attendance centre, and ordered to pay £100 costs.
In 2010 it also emerged that notorious lottery winner Michael Carroll, 28, who turned up to collect his £9.7million winnings wearing an electronic tag, was back on the dole after squandering his fortune on gambling, drugs, and prostitutes.
The self-styled King of Chavs, who was only 19 when he hit the jackpot, said: ‘The party has ended and it’s back to reality.
‘I haven’t got two pennies to rub together and that’s the way I like it.
‘I find it easier to live off £42 dole than a million.’

I was in the court yesterday. The inaccuracies reported here are breathtaking – but hey, it seems to be a case of why let the truth get in the way of a good story. Shame on you DM.

The woman is stupid, but if she had spent all of the money at the point she claimed the benefits, and wasn’t hiding any of it, then surely she was entitled to the benefits?
The story is somehwat confusing, as it is reported.

#’Crossthwaite was placed on a one-year supervision order, with 36 hours at an attendance centre, and ordered to pay £100 costs.
can i have 4.5k for 36hours and a 100quid fine please? Seems like a good deal,a punishment of 36hours for 4.6k is beyond disgusting, thats 2months wages for a large number of people (after tax) – yet this money we pay in tax is so carelessly given away in every single avenue of life..so why are we still paying taxes?

Confusing. She was working as a newsagent at the time of her ‘win’, when rules forbid vendors from taking part in the lottery. Then she’s still working as a newsagent whilst claiming JSA. Whatever it is, she’ stupid. Spending off the money when she’d previously planned out how sensibly, proving a fool and their money are easily parted.

Aye that’s right keep everyone distracted with the small fry whilst the Big Boys syphon billions of pounds of unpaid taxes to offshore accounts. Typical main stream media.
