Lottery number picker may be a good title for Mark Gardiner when he won the National Lottery in 1995. He won £ 11 million ($ 17,515,827 USD). That was a long time ago and Mark has time to reflect on how the lottery changed his life. And, it has been quite a life of trouble the big win. However, in the end, they brought him back to soulmate, the lover of his childhood, Bridget Baker (Pictures here with Mark).
It all started in 1995, when the sign of £ 22 million jackpot split with business partner, the largest lottery jackpot ever in the UK at that time. Mark Gardiner became a part of celebrity. With all the wealth, he spent a lot. Not only did he spend on himself, he spent on friends and family. List expenses include:
• Purchase of five £ 100,000 home for his friends.
• £ 500,000 for a home in Barbados.
• £ 200,000 on a luxury yacht.
• £ 2 million to former spouse and dependents.
As you can see, Mark Gardiner is not afraid to spend. But spending that is causing the problem. He did not talk to many people he gives money to another. Many are no longer friends because of the small argument over money. People began to take advantage of him for his generosity. He was not even speak to any person that he bought five houses for longer, they are no longer friends.
However, the troubled lottery winners do not manage to find a soulmate - child lover - even though everything is happening. Mark Gardiner is actually married to Bridget Baker before. Marriage is only for 12 months, though. It is difficult because, at that time, they are damaged and they were divorced. Fast forward 2008, where Mark has been married and divorced three more times. That's four marriages in total. That's when Mark came full circle and get back together with his first wife, love the original. Mark now says that, with Bridget is the best feeling ever!
