A man regrets breaking up with his girlfriend after family landed a £61million EuroMillions win.
Daniel White’s friends ridiculed him after discovering his former partner’s family had shared out the lottery winnings among themselves.
The rugby player broke up with his childhood sweetheart, Courtney Davies, just months before the big win, the Daily Star reports.
The pair dated for two years at Monmouth Comprehensive School, in Wales, before the romance fizzled out.
The 27-year-old said: “It was a school and teenage romance which just tailed off.
“We had different interests and different friends.”
But little did he know that his lack of fight to stay together would be a valuable mistake after her sister Stephanie purchased a lucky dip ticket from her local garage back in 2016.
The generous family agreed to share out the fortune, which included handing a £12million sum to Stephanie’s boyfriend.
Daniel was Stephanie’s next door neighbour at the time, reports The Sun.
He previously said: “All my mates are savaging me – the first I knew of their win was my phone going nuts.
“The boys were all sending me links and jokey Snapchats asking if I was gutted. One said ‘how much have you cried since you found out mate?’
“I just put my head in my hands. I’m happy for them – but obviously I feel like it could have been me.”
The Daily Star previously reported how a family had a major feud after their dad bagged £3.1million in a bus driver syndicate.
Alex Robertson was named among the lucky workers who won a whopping £38million in Corby, Northants.
