'I won £135k on EuroMillions – but then mother-in-law took me to court'
The woman, known only as H, won the EuroMillions prize in 2021 but was taken to court by her mother-in-law after her husband died a few months after the win Bagging a £130,000 EuroMillions jackpot is usually the start of a lavish spree, but for one woman, it led to a courtroom showdown with her own mother-in-law. The Spanish resident, known simply as H, scooped up the hefty sum in 2021, pocketing €154,073 (around £131,000). Yet, what should have been a stroke of fortune turned sour, sparking a bitter legal feud. At the time of her windfall, H was receiving social benefits, so the prize money was stashed in a joint account under her husband's name, as reported by Telecinco, to safeguard her benefits. But the real loss wasn't her benefits; it was her husband, who tragically passed away months after their EuroMillions win, ending their 30-year marriage. In the aftermath, J, the grieving mother of the deceased, laid claim to over half of the lottery winnings, insisting it was her son's inheritance. She took the battle to the Provincial Court of Oviedo, contending that "it was her son who bought the ticket, deposited it, and opened an account in his name", therefore excluding his wife from the equation. Despite her plea for €92,780 (about £80,000), the court sided with the daughter-in-law. Their verdict was clear in that "the person who won the EuroMillions draw for week 15/21 on Friday, April 16, with an amount of 154,073 euros was H". The verdict clarified that "the amount deposited on April 21, 2021, totalling 131,259.08 euros into a bank account opened on April 20, 2021, corresponds to the amount, after taxes, of the previous prize". Further details revealed by the court showed that it was indeed H who initially bought the ticket at a lottery office located in Saturnino Fresno, Oviedo. The fortunate widow scooped the winnings by correctly picking five numbers and one star, with testimony during the trial confirming that "H was a regular customer and always went alone to buy tickets", which was also true for the lucky ticket in question. For the disheartened mother-in-law, her legal battle ended in defeat as she recently found out she wouldn't receive any part of the windfall. Throughout the futile legal battle, she maintained that her son was the real purchaser of the ticket, and she even cast doubt over the marriage, claiming her son "lived with his wife but would go to her house whenever he wanted".

Footage shows assassin chase and kill man inside Irish pub in Spain
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info This is the dramatic moment Ross Monaghan's killer chases him round his Costa del Sol pub and shoots him dead after assassinating the Scottish gangster's pal Eddie Lyons Jnr outside seconds earlier. The graphic footage, broadcast on Spanish TV today, showed the gunman dressed in black honing in on Monaghan as he stumbles and drops helpless to his knees in front of him. Two innocent bystanders thought to include a waitress and another man in black whose identity is not known can be seen running for their lives before the hitman calmly pumps at least four bullets into the Glaswegian hood's chest and belly from close range. The stomach-churning footage was broadcast this morning on popular Telecinco programme El Programa de Ana Rosa. It showed Monaghan, 43, believed to be the owner of Monaghan's Fuengirola where Saturday night's shooting occurred just after the end of the Champions League final, appearing to turn round and look into his killer's eyes after being forced to crawl on all fours to try to get away following his fall before realising he has no escape. After being shot he sits upright against a wall, motionless and blood seeping out from his stomach wounds onto his white T-shirt as his life ebbs away. The assassin, who is rumoured to be Scottish but has yet to be arrested, appeared to be wearing a black baseball cap, a black jacket and black shorts and a white T-shirt round his neck he is thought to have used to hide his face before striking. Local reports today said Monaghan got the chance to try to escape after Lyons Jnr was killed instantly outside because the gunman's weapon jammed. The only images to emerge from Saturday's double shooting before the footage from the inside of the bar were pictures and video of Lyons Jnr lying dead on his back in shorts and a T-shirt on the terrace outside - before and after he was covered up by a blanket. (Image: SOLARPIX) Spanish police confirmed this morning they had yet to make any arrests, with a spokesman saying: "The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment." Refuting claims yesterday by a government representative for the Malaga area that a third person had been hurt and was in hospital, the police spokesman said: "There is no record of another person or people being injured." Respected Malaga-based newspaper Sur reported today the wife of one of the two victims had witnessed the horror attack around 11.30pm on Saturday, but did not say which man's partner it was. The gunman fled on foot before rejoining an accomplice in a car who had driven him to the murder scene. Police have retraced part of their escape route to the old N-340 dual carriageway heading towards Benalmadena. Details about the make and colour of the getaway vehicle have not yet been released. Officers from an elite Spanish National Police Costa del Sol-based Anti-Drug and Organised Crime Unit UDYCO are heading the ongoing probe, although they are reporting to a local investigating judge coordinating the operation. Court officials are expected to confirm later today a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment. Such orders, called a 'secreto de sumario' in Spanish, are often placed on criminal probes especially in their infancy to protect investigations by limiting the number of people who have access to sensitive information. Some local reports point to witnesses identifying the shooter as a "blond man" and investigators working on the theory British nationals are behind the gangland killing, but detectives have not commented. The National Police has confirmed two men were killed but declined to name them, saying in the force's only official statement so far: "Around midnight on Saturday an incident with firearms occurred in Fuengirola, specifically at an entertainment venue along the seafront. Two males died as a result from gunshot wounds. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made so far." A British woman answered the phone at the Irish bar, said to be owned by Ross Monaghan, yesterday morning but said she had been told by the police not to make any comment. Career criminal Monaghan, who fled Scotland for Spain after a failed attempt on his life outside a Glasgow primary school in 2017, was tried but acquitted over the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll at an Asda car park in 2010. In August 2017 he and Eddie Lyons Jr, both members of the Lyons Glasgow crime family, were cleared of being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire. The shooting in Spain comes amid a violent gang war that has ripped through Scotland since March said to have started over a fallout over drugs. Saturday night's gun murders follow the fatal shooting nearly six weeks ago of a 32-year-old British man in nearby Calahonda a 15-minute drive from the Irish bar towards Marbella. He was shot dead around 8pm on April 21 in a professional hit as he headed back to his car after finishing a football match with friends. The killers fled in a getaway car that was later torched. Police are investigating the brutal assassination as a drug-related gang shooting but have yet to make any arrests. The victim has not been named but was known to come from Liverpool. Reports at the time described the incident as the fourth shooting so far that month on the Costa del Sol, where rival gangs have increasingly used extreme violence to settle scores and a number of international mafias are known to have a base. Four days before the Calahonda shooting a 34-year-old man was rushed to the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella after being shot outside a nightclub in the famous Costa del Sol resort. Monaghans Fuengirola describes itself online as a place "where you can relax and spend the day enjoying great home cooked meals on a sunny terrace and watch live sporting events." It also bills itself as a "family friendly sports bar and restaurant located in Torreblanca, Fuengirola opposite one of the area's most popular beaches." Torreblanca is to the east of Fuengirola town centre and a stone's throw from an area called Los Boliches.

Credit: Solarpix One man can be seen hiding behind a car while others look bewildered as they struggle to comprehend the horror that's unfolded in the holiday hot spot. The clip also shows a good samaritan desperately trying to save the life of a man thought to be Lyons Jnr seconds after he was shot by a masked gunman. The victim is seen laying on his back with the woman attempting to keep him breathing by pressing frantically on his chest while others look on. The chaotic scenes - some of which are too upsetting and graphic to share - give an insight into the explosion of violence that's ramped up Scotland's ongoing gang chaos to a deadly new level. The clip came to light after a sickening CCTV clip emerged that shows Monaghan crawling across a pub floor in terror before he's killed in a hail of bullets. The graphic footage, broadcast on Spanish TV today, showed the gunman dressed in black honing in on Monaghan as he stumbles and drops helpless to his knees in front of him.

We told how the 'wife' of one of the Scottish gangsters shot dead at a packed Costa del Sol Irish bar witnessed the horror attack. The unnamed woman was sitting beside her partner on the terrace of Monaghans Fuengirola when a masked man got out of a car that screeched to a halt outside and targeted his two victims. Scotland's underworld is braced for revenge attacks after the brutal murders of Lyons gang kingpins. The double slaying of the two top table hoods in a Spain bloodbath has sent shockwaves through gangland circles - and poured rocket-fuel over an already raging gang war. Sources are warning of more carnage to come amid fears hired hitmen are waiting in the wings to go after a string of top targets. An insider said: 'The murder of Monaghan and Lyons has taken this ongoing madness to a whole new level."

Moment Scottish gangster chased through his Spanish pub and shot dead
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The moment a Scottish gangster was chased and shot dead in a pub he owns on the Costa del Sol has been broadcast on Spanish TV. Ross Monaghan, 43, and his associate Eddie Lyons Jnr, also from Scotland, were killed at the Irish bar in Fuengirola, Spain at around 11pm on Saturday. The unknown gunman first shot Lyons Jnr outside the pub, where it's understood he died instantly. Footage shared by Telecinco programme El Programa de Ana Rosa then shows the killer, who is dressed in black, walk towards Monaghan inside the bar. Monaghan stumbles and drops to his knees in front of him, before trying to desperately scramble away. He appears to turn to look at the assailant who then fires at least four rounds at the gangster at close range. Monaghan died at the scene. In the video, bystanders can be seen fleeing as the terrifying killings unfold. The gunman reportedly fled the scene on foot, before jumping into a getaway car that sped off. Pictures taken shortly after show Lyons lying on his back in shorts and a T-shirt outside the pub while onlookers stand nearby. Just before the murders, drinkers at the pub had been watching the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. The wife of one of the victims witnessed the attack, according to Malaga-based news outlet Sur, although it did not say which one. Monaghan and Lyons are described as top members of the Lyons crime clan. Spanish police said on Monday they had yet to make any arrests. 'The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment,' a spokesperson said. Court officials are expected to confirm today that a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment, reports the MailOnline. More Trending These are often placed early on in criminal probes in Spain to protect the investigations. It's thought investigators are working on the theory that British nationals are behind the murders. On April 21, a 32-year-old man from Liverpool was shot dead as he headed home from playing football with friends in Calahonda, not far from Fuengirola where the weekend's shooting took place. Four days earlier, a 34-year-old man was taken to hospital after being shot outside a nightclub in Calahonda.
