Warnings over Twitter accounts claiming to be EuroMillions winner Ade Goodchild

Lottery company Camelot have urged people to be cautious after several Twitter accounts supposedly belonging to EuroMillions winner Ade Goodchild have popped up.

Goodchild who is originally from South Wales won £71m in the EuroMillions jackpot making him the 15th biggest winner in UK lottery history.

Several Twitter accounts purporting to be Mr Goodchild have appeared saying he is willing to share his money if people like and follow him.

Camelot say they have reported a number of accounts some of which have since been suspended.

A spokesperson from Camelot said 'Winners of The National Lottery and other lotteries are sometimes falsely imitated on the internet in a variety of ways - often to try to make people believe they are going to be entitled to money. We would urge people to remember that, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is.'
