I don't see why people are saying he shouldn't have all that money because at the end of the day he won it so he has as much right to it as we do!

Sorry for taking over your thread there a bit mimi. I think what people were objecting to was the fact he was a thug and a public nusience and for him to win that money was only going to make matters worse. He turned up to receive his winnings wearing an electronic tag, turns up to court in flash cars even now for numerous different offences, so really money only changed him for the worse. He even thought it would be a nice idea one night to drive round taking pot shots at peoples cars, windows etc.. He thinks he can get away with it more now he has the money. But really at the end of the day your right, he won it fair and square...unfortunatly. :o)
The same 'problem' occured a few years ago when someone who won several million on the Lottery, continued to buy tickets, and a few minths later, won several more millions!
The media were up in arms, saying it 'wasn't fair' which entirely misses the whole concept - by definition, a lottery is entirely fair, what ever people think of the character of any winner, or how they use their money, the abiding concept remains, it is a lottery, therefore anyone who wins it, has won by fair means.
The idea that people should be excluded because other people don't like how they spend their winnings has fortunately yet to impact on the rules.
