Millionaire lotto winner Michael Carroll has been granted legal aid to fight a court case next week.
The ex-binman, who won £9.7m in the lotto, is accused of affray and is due before Norwich Crown Court on Monday.
A government spokeswoman confirmed that Mr Carroll, 22, of Downham Market, Norfolk, had been granted legal aid.
But she said it was "a matter of course" for it to be awarded initially, however the cash can be reclaimed later on the orders of a judge.

She added a court official would then investigate the defendant's means and a judge can order the costs to be recovered.

Can order? Let's hope that it WILL be ordered.
