A convicted rapist who won £7.2million after purchasing a lottery ticket whilst serving a prison sentence has been granted full access to the money.
Iorworth Hoare, 70, had been serving a life sentence for his attack on a woman when in 2004 he won the money whilst on leave from Leyhill open prison, Gloucestershire.
The daughter of one of his victims has urged him to give the cash to charity, just as her late mother did with the damages he was forced to pay her.

Shirley Woodman was 59 when Hoare, who committed a series of sex attacks in the 70s and 80s, attempted to rape her as she walked through Roundhay Park in Leeds, in 1988, the Mirror reports.
Twenty years later, Shirley won her fight to change the law so she could claim compensation from Hoare, who eventually had to pay £50,000 damages and almost £800,000 in legal costs.
After learning that Hoare now has full access to his £7.2million jackpot, Shirley’s daughter Shelley Wolfson, 67, told the Mirror: "She gave all the money away to charity and it’s what he should be doing with his money."
"He can do good with that money, like my mum did." Shirley, a "magnificent" former head teacher, died last year, aged 92, but left a legacy for other victims of sexual assault.
She was incensed when she heard he'd won the money, telling the BBC in 2012: "It seemed wrong that he had been in prison at our expense - that is the taxpayers' expense.
"He should be paying back that money. The victims also got money from the state and he should be paying that back."
Shirley sued Hoare for damages but he used the law of limitations, which put a six-year limit on claims for compensation, to fight her claim.
