Unemployed Eric Walker (right, with his partner Amanda Emmadi), 56, of Sheffield, claimed the big money win after saying he had scratched three matching symbols on the National Lottery's £3-a-time Pharoah's Fortune card. Sixteen co-ordinates are given on the cards which are used to scratch off squares on a grid in the hope of matching three pharaoh symbols. But lottery organisers Camelot have refused to pay up saying that one of the co-ordinates on the card was 'altered'. The winning co-ordinate F5 appears to have been changed to an E5 (left) - something Mr Walker denies and says must be result of a misprint. However today an image of his 'winning' card was published in a local newspaper and then appeared altered again later in the day. Mr Walker insists he won the jackpot 'fair and square'.

Donald Trump's former right-hand man Michael Cohen will spend 36 months in a federal prison in upstate New York for his lies, fraud and campaign finance violations, a federal judge in New York has ruled. He will also pay almost $2 million in fines and forfeitures. Cohen wept in court as he pleaded to avoid jail and spoke of how he had covered up Donald Trump's 'dirty deeds' - a reference to secret payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to buy their silence before the election on claims of sex with Trump. At the hearing in Manhattan U.S District Judge William Pauley III said the ex-fixer had committed a 'smosgabord' of crimes but gave him a less severe sentence than prosecutors had wanted because, he said, Cpohen had co-operated with Robert Mueller's probe. An attorney for Mueller said Cohen, 52, he had provided 'useful' information. Cohen's wife Lauren, daughter Samantha, and son Jake watched him being sentenced. He will report to medium-security Otisville Federal Correctional Facility on March 6. Trump says Cohen's crimes are his own fault.
