November 22, 201015 yr £56m lottery winner ordered to pay £2m to ex-wife who left him for another man TEN YEARS ago By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 2:04 PM on 22nd November 2010 Comments (515) Add to My Stories Former wife is thought to have wanted £8millionFirst lottery winner successfully sued by an ex-partner A £56million lottery winner has been ordered to pay £2million to his ex-wife who walked out on him ten years ago. Nigel Page, 44, was sued by his former wife Wendy shortly after his massive Euromillions windfall earlier this year even though she left him for another man. The human resources director, 43, who is the mother of his 13-year-old daughter, is thought to have wanted £8million. Lottery winner Nigel Page celebrates with his partner Justine Laycock after winning £56million in February. He has been ordered to pay his ex-wife £2million She received a lump sum of £2million in an out-of-court settlement, which she celebrated yesterday when she was spotted with a bottle of Champagne as she left her luxury Gloucestershire home with a mystery man. Mr Page is believed to be the first lottery winner to be successfully sued by an ex-partner for a percentage of their winnings. Despite his heartbreak when his wife walked out with his then-three-year-old daughter, Mr Page had decided to offer his ex £1million following his jackpot win in February. But Wendy is believed to have instructed her lawyers to fight for up to £8million. 'Nigel feels very hurt,' a source told The Sun. 'The last seven months have been horrendous for him. What Wendy has done has ruined everything... 'Nigel has always provided for their daughter. Even when he was out of work he made sure she was all right. And right from the start Wendy was going to get a big gift.' Winning ticket: Mr Page moved into this £4million eco-friendly lodge in Gloucestershire, shortly after his win Wendy is also thought to have won a huge increase in maintenance payments for their daughter, up from £150 to £2,000 per month. Legal experts today said it is likely the couple failed to include a legally-binding 'clean break' arrangement in their divorce settlement. Should the clause have been included, Wendy would have been highly unlikely to have won her out-of-court settlement. Following his £56million win, Mr Page, from Barnsley, Gloucestershire, wed his girlfriend Justine Laycock. The pair, who are both divorcees, are understood to have married at a register office over Easter with staff standing in as witnesses. They then whisked Mr Page’s daughter Ella and Mrs Page’s children Georgia and Jacob and other relatives away for a luxury holiday in Dubai. The bill for the party, at the exclusive Atlantis The Palm resort, is said to have reached £70,000. On their return they moved into a £4million environmentally-friendly mansion - leaving their old £400,000 home to their cleaner, Denise Kelso.
