Struggling net firm Yahoo has won a bumper payout from a lottery but may never see the cash swell its bank account.
A US court has ordered conmen who ran a fake lottery using Yahoo's name to pay the net firm $610m (£388m).
The scam involved emailing people telling them they had won a prize in Yahoo lottery.
Victims handed over personal details to receive cash prizes but had their bank accounts plundered instead.
