A house in the country
The former postman’s dream of living on a working farm in the countryside lies in tatters. He and his wife, Gillian, 46, split shortly after the EuroMillions win. Reports suggested that their relationship had broken down. Since then, Adrian has had a string of lovers but they all left him.In fact, Bayford claims that the win has made him miserable. He is now seeking happiness overseas as he makes the move to Australia.[caption id="attachment_11446" align=aligncenter width=289]

EuroMillions Winner Adrian Bayford has not been so lucky
The local population has instead turned against the multimillionaire. Reports claim that he rarely leaves the confines of his luxury home near the town. Many sources suggest that Bayford won't stop eating pasties, scoffing up to seven a day. He gets them delivered to the door from his childhood home county of Cornwall.Bayford recently commented on his loneliness, saying that the people who printed things about his life don’t know him at all. He went on to state that he will go to war with anybody who makes unjustified comments about his character or behaviour.Indeed, it appears that the case of Adrian Bayford is one that proves the old maxim of ‘money can’t buy you happiness.’
