Becoming a millionaire overnight thanks to the Lottery of the Euromillones is the dream of many citizens with precarious jobs and salaries, which seek to change radically life. That was what happened to the couple formed by Adrián and Gillian Bayford, who in 2012 played Euromillones and took more than 190 million euros. When they got that huge amount of money, they were married and far from economically improving, this new situation was ruin for them.
When charging the tenth, the first thing they did was celebrate it and think what they would do with so much money. They bought a house, several luxury cars, traveled around the world and left Advise to invest in various financial products. They also made donations to different beneficial associations. But happiness does not give it the money, as they usually say on many occasions. And now, they are separated and in ruin. In fact, Adrián has had to move back to his mother’s house.

The problems, as they recognized The Sunthey started when they wasted the money without having any knowledge of savings and investments. “It is assumed that money and being millionaires is something that makes us all happy,” they said.
The woman left her job and met a scammer
Gillian, the woman, left her job and married a scammer, with whom she lost a good part of her savings. Adrian, who followed a different path, fell in love with a younger 16 year old but did not abandon the company for which he worked. Of course, his girlfriend left him and left with a good part of the lottery money. “It took hundreds of millions of dollars,” said the man in an interview.
He also left With the dogs they had in common and several sports cars valued in thousands of euros. Seeing alone and living with his 80 -year -old mother in a cabin in the forest (which he had given him months ago), he decided to enter the real estate business. Specifically in the rental homes. But he did not go well and lost a good part of the fortune that he had 38 houses that he did not get profitability.
Today he still has debts that he has not managed to pay. To get out of the ruin in which he has gotten because of the bad investments and worst advice, he tries to sell a mansion of 7 million euros, but for now he has not achieved a buyer.
“He wants to return to the life he had before being rich”
His best friend, in statements to The Sun, says that Adrian is not happy and that he wants to return to the life he had before the lottery touched him. “He thinks he can resume his simple life and return to how things were before becoming very rich.”
“The house of which he has now left is the one he bought with his ex -wife, from which he separated and is full of memories for him. He is now with a girl named Tracey who wants, and also loves his mother, so it makes sense to live together.”
The former mailman is struggling to sell his home, and now tries to return to professional life thanks to a vineyard. “His girlfriend’s parents have already visited the house and last Christmas he proposed married.”
