COMPLIMENTS to Leigh's big winner, Ken White, on his bravery in going ahead with his book "Lottery: The Win That Tore a Family Apart", and writer, freelance journalist Rachel Halliwell, of Culcheth.

The riveting work tells the extraordinary story of this now notorious family, and how the £6million-plus jackpot brought them so much heartache.

For those who have read excerpts from the biography I'd say don't judge the father and three sons before you've read all the facts.

There's a lot more behind the troubles.

I found the book unputdownable! When's the film coming out?
