'Eccentric' £11m lotto winner dies alone just months after wife passes

Recluse had shared millions with former business partner

AN eccentric lotto winner who scooped an £11 million jackpot share has died after living like a hermit in Scotland. 

Former double-glazing boss Paul Maddison and ex-business partner Mark Gardiner won £22,590,829 in 1995.

The 71-year-old is understood to have passed away in Perth and Kinross on November 28. – just months after his 62-year-old wife Evelyn died in January.

He is understood to have suffered a heart attack.

After the win, Paul, originally from Hastings, East Sussex, moved to Perth so he could enjoy a quieter lifestyle.

Just months later, his marriage to wife Ruth fell apart after she walked out on him for another man.

Maddison moved into a luxury six-bedroom mansion – Lettertabor Lodge – before hiring Evelyn, who later became his wife, to clean it.
