A fraudster fleeced the husband of a Shropshire lottery winner out of £700,000, a court was told today.

Keith Gough, 58, from Bridgnorth, had been given £1.5 million by his former wife after she won £9 million on the lottery in 2005.

He was targeted by 35-year-old James Prince, from Cheshire, who appeared at Chester Crown Court today.
