Seem to remember a thread on this pair of Mensa candidates but could not find it.
It’s a shame for the bloke behind them in the queue but fabulous that they got nabbed by their own greed and stupidity, and despite whining like little girls to the press, got sent down!

Result.

Londis shop as bent as the crims surely ?

£90 of shopping which they must have paid for

Using cars not present as details were written on the blokes hand .

Spent money at Waitrose too - how is that possible with card not present?

[poo at Paul's]

Wonder if they actually had the card, but said they did not to reduce the crime or something?

Could the guy whose card they used not claim the prize?

[Doofus]

Did the card's real owner get the money?

Unlikely - the dodgy guys were the legal purchaser of the scratchcard, but using a stolen/invalid payment disqualified them from claiming.

Here's a piece of the terms which they are probably using:

"Camelot reserves the right to ...withhold a Prize (or recover or seek to recover a Prize already paid) until it has carried out all appropriate checks and enquiries if in its discretion it believes, on reasonable grounds, that the Scratchcard holder or the person whose name is stated on the back of the Scratchcard or the person whose name is stated as owner of the Scratchcard on a Prize Claim Form (or any other form required by Camelot) is not the rightful owner of that Scratchcard or otherwise lawfully entitled to claim the Prize..."
