UK Man Wins £56 Million Lottery

A man in Gloucestershire, Nigel Page has been left appalled after the wife who left him for another man ten years ago was able to grab £2million of his lottery winnings, reports Daily Mail, London.
Page, who won the £56million Euromillions jackpot earlier this year, is said to have been planning a generous gift to his former wife.But this wasn’t enough for Wendy Page, 43, who decided to take legal action against him for more.
Sources close to the winner’s family say she had wanted £8million, but settled for a quarter of that in an out-of-court deal. She was due to receive the money into her bank account yesterday.Page – said to have been shocked by the legal threat – offered to put the £2million in a trust fund for their 13-year-old daughter. This was vetoed.Page, 44, a former property maintenance worker, landed Britain’s third biggest lottery win in February, when an online lucky dip ticket won him half of a £113million Euromillions prize.He and his partner Justine Laycock, 42, celebrated by getting married shortly after the win.
They moved into a £4million six-bedroom eco-home with 25-seat cinema and an indoor swimming pool near the Cotswold village of Barnsley and count Liz Hurley and Kate Moss as neighbours.
