Who doesn’t dream of winning the lottery? Jerry and Marge Selbee certainly did. But unlike almost everyone else, they know what it feels like to win. And win. In fact, they are so good at it that over the years they have made more than 39 million Australian dollars. But as Liz Hayes discovers, this retired couple are not the luckiest people alive. They’re just smart. They did the sums and worked out how to beat the system. And when the very charming Jerry and Marge went large, Hollywood couldn’t wait to get in on the action.

2 Lottery fraud : Lucky 7 – the fifth estate

Back to menu

Gepubliceerd op 14 sep. 2016
Someone collected a huge lottery prize that really belonged to someone else. From 2012, Linden MacIntyre brings you the climax of a story the fifth estate first told you in 2006 when we discovered that some lottery ticket buyers had their winnings cashed in by crooked shopkeepers.

As the fifth estate investigation revealed, one particular insider lottery jackpot looked especially fishy. It was a family that claimed a huge $12.5 million jackpot in 2004 with a ticket issued in their store. After police charged three members of the family with fraud and money laundering, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) was swamped with calls from people claiming to be the rightful owners of that winning ticket.

It would take a dying woman’s intuition and the OLG seven years to find the true winners of that lottery jackpot. How it happened is a true-life drama full of strange twists, false claims, counter-claims, court battles and a nifty new computer program that can meticulously track the habits of people who play the lottery game. OLG investigators reveal to the fifth estate how they found them, and the lucky seven ordinary guys who suddenly struck it rich speak publicly for the first time since their win

10 jun 2024

Major Charles Ingram gained notoriety in 2001 due to his participation in the British television quiz show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” His story is a fascinating blend of ambition, deception, and the allure of sudden wealth.

02:03 – Debt Around the Corner
03:34 – At Ease Major!
04:43 – Do You Have to Googol That?
07:48 – Outro

Born on August 6, 1963, Ingram had a distinguished career in the British Army, rising to the rank of major. He was stationed in Bosnia and served in the Royal Engineers, demonstrating intelligence and discipline characteristic of military life.

However, it was his appearance on the quiz show that thrust him into the public eye. In September 2001, he appeared as a contestant on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Ingram’s run on the show took an unexpected turn during the £1 million question. Despite his previous struggles in the game, he correctly answered the final question and won the jackpot.

However, suspicions arose regarding the legitimacy of his win. It was alleged that hee cheat to win the game. The scheme involved strategic coughing from an accomplice, who was seated in the audience, to indicate the correct answers to Ingram.

The case became a media sensation and was dubbed the “Coughing Major” scandal. The ensuing trial captivated audiences worldwide as the prosecution argued that the coughing was a deliberate ploy to defraud the show. Despite vehement denials from Ingram and his co-defendants, they were found guilty of “procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception.” Ingram was subsequently fined and dismissed from the Army.

The case not only highlighted the lengths to which individuals might go for financial gain but also raised questions about the integrity of television quiz shows. It sparked debates about the vulnerability of quiz show formats to manipulation and the responsibility of broadcasters to uphold fairness.

Ingram’s story continues to fascinate and has been the subject of numerous documentaries, books, and even a stage play. While his name will forever be associated with controversy, his tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the consequences of succumbing to greed and the enduring allure of the pursuit of wealth, even at the expense of integrity.

“Who Wants to be a Millionaire” Scandal | Charles Ingram Case Analysis

Back to menu

“Fake Homeless” refers to individuals who pretend to be homeless to earn money from unsuspecting people. Some key points about this issue include:

  1. Fake homelessness is a growing problem in many cities around the world, and it’s often difficult to distinguish between genuine homeless people and those who are pretending.

  2. Fake homeless people may have a home to go to at night, but choose to beg on the streets during the day to make money. They may also use props such as crutches, wheelchairs or pets to evoke sympathy from passers-by.

  3. Giving money to fake homeless people can actually perpetuate the problem by encouraging more people to beg on the streets. It can also divert resources away from genuine homeless people who are in need of support.

  4. Some charities and organizations are working to address the issue of fake homelessness by providing support and resources to those who are genuinely homeless, and educating the public about how to spot fake beggars.

  5. Ultimately, the best way to help homeless people is to support organizations that provide them with shelter, food, and other basic needs. This can help them get back on their feet and break the cycle of homelessness.

18 Fake pregnancies, cancers, funerals: Arabella Del Busso on ex lovers claims | 60 Minutes Australia

1 jun. 2020

There’s no better feeling than being in love. And there are few worse feelings than love gone wrong. When it happens it can be bizarre, and at times incredibly cruel. Former couple, rugby league star Josh Reynolds and Instagram lingerie model Arabella Del Busso, can certainly attest to that. As is often the way with modern romances, their attraction to each other was as instant as it was passionate. But their relationship ended as a very public police matter. Then the story got even stranger. Claims of fake pregnancies, fake cancers, fake funerals and domestic violence caused more scandalous headlines. Many people assumed Josh was just another footballer behaving badly until it emerged that Arabella was not necessarily the victim she said she was. In a special edition of 60 MINUTES, Tom Steinfort speaks to the warring parties as he explains this twisted tale of doomed romance.

The bizarre story of how painter and decorator Howard Walmsley deceived his wife, family, friends — and bank manager — into believing he had won an £8.9 million (US$11.5 million) jackpot in the UK National Lottery. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/312606

“I had to lie, otherwise she would know the truth.” A statement more revealing than an IQ test.

This is funniest documentary I have ever seen! I could not stop laughing at them . Are they serious??? 😂 I thought it was hilarious at the end when the prisoners nick named him bonus ball , fucking hilarious 😆
Paul Carney
I came home about a year ago, with a large smile on my face, I asked my wife what would she do if I won the lottery? Her exact words – “I would take half and leave your ass!” I said “here’s ten dollars, have a good life.”

The guy who makes pools is the best, “I had a call, he ain’t no lottery winner. Hes a… a wanker!” 🤣🤣

I dated a guy who spent the whole time pretending he was a bank supervisor when he was actually unemployed. This man was so dedicated he would get up at 630, put on a suit, and sit by the lake for 8 hours rather than tell the truth.
 
 
Steve Owen
He watched his wife give away their sofa, washing machine and all other house items knowing they wouldn’t be moving anywhere and knowing she’d then have to go through the embarrassment of asking for it all back. Also, what about the “mistress” he manipulated £30k out of? People like this should never be allowed freedom in my opinion and seldom do people like this change. The reason they don’t change is because they lack empathy and compassion in the first place which is why they feel no guilt in ruining peoples lives. People who lack these things will usually repeat-offend for the rest of their lives.

I don’t know what’s worse the fact after all he did she decided to stay by him or the constant bad piano music 😂😂
 
Beatrice Faria-clendinning
… Howard doesn’t seem like he’s playing with a full deck…😂
 
 
Rory Jones
The thing that gets me is how he managed to convince his wife that they couldn’t get hold of the money as it was Offshore. Did she not see everyone else who wins big on the lottery on the front page of the paper a couple of days after winning, holding a massive cheque??? No wonder her IQ test came back negative 🙄
