Couple who won £50,000 on lottery demand benefits back after wasting it all in ONE year

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/632407/Couple-won-lottery-DEMANDS-benefits-back-wasting-ONE-year

Jobless Jamie and Abbie Hort scooped the massive windfall at Christmas 2014 but within twelve months blew it all. 
They splashed the cash on designer clothes, holidays, new furniture and a giant TV for their flat. 
But the money has now all gone and they face eviction from their home - and are asking for income support and housing benefit. 
The couple admit they have been "silly" with the winnings but say they ''deserved to buy nice stuff'' and now need state help. 
But officials are refusing to hand their benefits back and the couple say they've had the "worst Christmas ever" and after the windfall all they have left is - a big tele. 

 The "we deserve" attitude is not isolated to England. There's a whole bunch of that in everyone's favorite commonwealth, too.
