Quote:After the £1million win, the restaurant owner claimed he won alone but Mr Ozcan was adamant that he chose some of the numbers, paid half of the stake – and had inspired the joint bid with his dream.


Mr Kucukkoylu was held in police custody for nine hours after Mr Ozcan called Camelot and reported the ticket stolen.


Mr Ozcan later admitted he lied about the theft but said his boss had threatened him, leaving him “fearful for his safety”.


The judge saw CCTV from the Kapadokya Turkish restaurant in York showing slips being filled in. It suggested both men chose numbers and each paid half the stake.
