There is no way anyone can win that kind of money on a gambling site.

Only the jobless can afford to gamble.

How can someone on benefits afford to splurge 60 gambling. I know I can't on my pension.

They've bought five cars and a quad bike. Shame you cannot buy class, or brains.

Maybe his wife will let him get a hair transplant or a toupee at least!

I'd take anything by the Daily Mail with a pinch of salt to be honest - like the way they have to get 'Irish Travellers' in there.

What a load of rubbish!! You can't claim tax credits if you earn over £16,000 a month so that's rubbish. Child Benefit can be paid but if you earn over about £50K a month it's get massively taxed. Don't believe this story at all!

Yes, this is from the paper who once claimed that the following were contributory factors to cancer.

The Medical Council were, naturally, a tad miffed:

 - pringles

 - facebook

 - oral ***** (though unconfirmed - more research needed)

If you wrapped the worst traits of people into one, poorly written rag, it's what you'd end up with.
