* Perhaps that particular salesman gave her the attention she yearned for. You know the gazing longingly into her eyes, listening to her every word, nodding the head while she got off what was on her chest.

* Women pick up on things, they can be picky..

Have a feeling she knew the Audi salesman before the lottery hit. It wasn't like she just happened to be enamored with Audi's after they won but I think she was dallying with the guy beforehand and the commissions he must have made on those vehicles was a plan to divert some cash his way. Of course she ended up with half anyway so she is real winner here. As far as the mansion thing goes no one needs one of those. The biggest mistake you can make. It is like when regular people put in a swimming... [ More ]

The first mistake he made was going public! UK National Lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous, the vast majority choose to do so. Would the Polish sausage factory worker, or the stable girl, have touched him with a barge pole if hadn't won the lottery

* Hmm, so some are upset with Phil's actions regarding getting the ex wife her hubby off he's property.

* Perhaps those two were taking advantage of Phil's generosity. Suddenly our resident trolls recognize their own behavior are now going to quit listening to Phil's music.. pity

* It can work up to a point.

Take Phil Collins for instance: he allowed his ex wife her husband to live with him at his mansion until he decided enough was enough pulled the trigger on their occupancy. Ain't life grand

He should be able to make a relationship work. You stay on one end of the house, I stay on the other.

I often tease with Lejardin about her dreams of returning to California or Hawaii and her formerly questionable choices of homes after winning the lottery

personally, I'd be forced to just sit a spell till I got a chance to visit the spread my Coffin-wood friends have

its not a big place (only 3 acres and assumed modest sized house) and from Dusty's various descriptions,it sounds nearly idea for my thoughts and future game plans

I still believe in buying only a smidge more then you real... [ More ]

From the sounds of things sounds like Wife #1 had the most common sense marrying an Audi salesman.

His taste is women thereafter might be questionable, but as others have said, like the old Michael Jackson song says 'I'm starting with the man in the mirror.'

Sure mansions look nice, but the upkeep/utilities could be expensive. My old saying is you can only be in one room @ a time...now if it were me (LOL) there definitely would be two bowling lanes

The sausage stuffer and stable girl both walked and he thinks it's the house

I couldn't have put it better myself

a few and many would no doubt scoff at my after winning the lottery choices...

but I figure on living the simplest life I can and dammed with what the others think I should've bought with the money

I am amazed by how people blame money for their troubles when a lot of the time, the real culprit can be found by looking in the mirror.

Money only magnifies what is already there good or bad.

Seems like he keeps picking the same type of woman over and over again and getting the same results.

Moving to another house will not solve his problems as long as he is in it, as nothing will change until he does.

It starts from within...

Open your eyes. They don't have to SAY he's broke. Look at what he sold the mansion for, he did not even break EVEN. A person with millions in the bank does not settle for less on any property, they are trying to get as much as possible. The only seller who settles for less is someone who is either stupid or desperate for money. I realize the article never said he went broke. I came to that conclusion myself. It's pretty obvious. By the way......whether it's pounds or dollars .....148 million is... [ More ]

TheMeatman2005 — Sat, 14 Aug 2021 02:32:29 GMT

First off, they won 148 million (US$232.5 million) NOT $148 million

Second...He didn't spend 6.5 mil on the house. That is what it sold for.

Third... I don't know what article you read, but nowhere in this article does it say He went broke

So this guy had 148 million dollars. He spent 6.5 on the mansion, leaving 141.5 million. I realize he had to give part of it to his ex-wife, but that still leaves him with an awful lot of money. How on earth did he end up broke.? It does not seem like he was crazy like Michael the lotto lout or careless like David Lee Edwards. I doubt that the 3 girlfriends ripped him off. What could lead this guy to blow that many millions? I am shocked.

Since it was 4 different women, perhaps the problem is not the women. I think the women would have tried very hard to get along with him in light of the money involved. That kinda leaves him as the problem. But, hey, why not blame the house

Bayford moved on and dated Marta Jarosz, 37, a Polish sausage factory worker. He then got engaged to Sam Burbidge, 33, a stable girl, after which he began a relationship with waitress Lisa Kemp, 41.

I'm betting the next lucky lass will be a real estate agent.

The story doesn't go too much in depth of what caused his unlucky streak in his love life. Maybe they asked him for money and he said no so they went goodbye.

If someone is happy in a relationship, the money may not change them. But if it wasn't good before the win, it won't get better because of it.

I wish them well.

Winner moves out of lavish estate after all the bad luck it brought

By Kate Northrop

A lottery winner who won 148 million (US$232.5 million) in a Euro Millions drawing in August 2012 sold the mansion he bought with his lottery winnings at a loss.

Not only did Adrian Bayford make headlines in 2012 for claiming the massive jackpot, which was Britain's second-largest Euro Millions win at the time, but now he is making another appearance in the news for selling the home he was dumped i... [ More ]
