September 19, 2022 Convicted rapist behind £2.5m lottery scam facing six more years in prison Edward Putman was jailed for nine years in 2019 for the fraud – but is facing a longer stretch inside after managing to pay back only £94,000 of his illicit gains

A convicted rapist who scammed the Lottery out of £2.5million is facing six more years in jail after paying back just £94,000.
Edward Putman was sentenced to nine years in 2019 for the fraud.
At a proceeds of crime hearing in January he was told he had three months to repay almost £940,000 or there was a risk that the extra time would be added to the jail term.
But freedom of in- formation documents show that, with interest, he still owes more than £845,000. Prosecutors are now believed to be preparing legal action to trigger the extended sentence.
Putman, jailed for seven years in 1993 for raping a pregnant 17-year-old, bribed Lotto insider Giles Knibbs to forge a ticket.
He was found out when Knibbs – upset he was not getting his “fair share” of the scam – killed himself leaving an incriminating note.

Despite claiming £2.5m, prosecutors later said the amount available for confiscation from Putman now was just £939,782.44.
But financial investigators are now refusing to say if any of his assets have been auctioned off – because it may cause the sex offender “distress”.
Land registry documents suggest he still owns a £700,000 property in Kings Langley, St Albans.
Last night a pal of Mr Knibbs said: “Where are the missing millions? And why hasn’t it been handed over?
“They need to make sure that evil rapist pays for what he did.”
After making a fake ticket, Putman called Camelot just days before the six-month limit was to expire, claiming he was “having palpitations”.
Camelot paid out despite the crumpled ticket missing its bottom half and key security features, such as a barcode.
But the fraud unravelled when Mr Knibbs killed himself – leaving notes incriminating Putman.
Evidence suggested Knibbs was paid £280,000 by Putman, followed by much smaller increments totalling £50,000.
Putman, jailed for nine years for raping a teenager in the 1990s, went on a spending spree with girlfriend Lita Stephens, replacing luxury cars if they got so much as a scratch.
Pals said they flew first-class around the world and they were said to have bought properties in Florida and Malta.
Putman avoided publicity following the jackpot win, but was unmasked in 2012 after he fraudulently claimed £13,000 in housing and income support.
He was jailed for nine months.

Putman claimed he was a “genuine winner” at his fraud trial, but jurors heard how Knibbs had begun to feel aggrieved he did not get his “fair share”. https://www.zitobox.com/
He damaged one of Putman’s cars during a row in 2015 and was arrested after his former friend called the police.
Knibbs then told friends about the lottery scam before killing himself months later.
As Putman was jailed for nine years in 2019, judge Philip Grey told him:
“Whatever the exact monetary split you and Mr Knibbs had agreed, you did not pay him what split he felt he was owed.”
The judge criticised “greedy” Putman, saying: “You struck at the integrity of the national lottery.”
After the scam, the Gambling Commission fined Camelot £3m for paying the faked claim.
A CPS spokesman said: “Following the imposition of a Confiscation Order on Edward Putman, we have recovered £94,013.57.
“He has become liable to pay interest on the outstanding amount, having failed to pay the Confiscation Order within the period given to him by the court.
“We are maintaining our efforts to recover the remaining amount.”
