| Tuesday, 12 November, 2002, 18:16 GMT Lotto winner tagged again ![]() Michael Carroll faces an overnight curfew A young offender who won almost �10m on the National Lottery is to have his electronic tag reactivated. Michael Carroll, 19, of Magdalen in Norfolk, was still wearing the tag - imposed for being drunk and disorderly - when he collected his winnings at the beginning of the month. Last week, he persuaded a court to deactivate it for seven days and lift a curfew order, to allow him to escape media attention. But on Tuesday evening, magistrates in King's Lynn said the restrictions should be reimposed and remain in place until December.
He and his pregnant partner Sandra Aikin plan to buy a house together. He said: "I am not making excuses but I fell in with a bad crowd and life got pretty grim. "That is all in the past and the Lotto has given me a great chance for a stable future." Mr Carroll is now obliged to be at an address in King's Lynn between 1800 and 0500 GMT every day. | See also: 07 Nov 02 | England 04 Nov 02 | England 16 Sep 02 | UK 21 Apr 02 | England 15 May 01 | UK Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top England stories now: Links to more England stories are at the foot of the page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
