EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford has reportedly moved out of his £10million Suffolk mansion.
Former postie Mr Bayford, 49, scooped an incredible £148million in 2012, but his marriage broke down and his wife Gillian, 47, divorced him just 15 months later.
She said their eight-year marriage had broken down "irretrievably" and moved to Scotland with their two children.
Since then, Mr Bayford has remained in England and had a string of failed relationships with women, but friends claim he has now decided to quit his Suffolk estate for a four-bed detached home in Dundee.
They say he has moved north so he can see his children regularly.
Friends said his new home is within walking distance of his ex-wife - who married convicted fraudster Brian Deans - and the kids.
Claming Mr Bayford "hasn't been happy for a while", a source told the Sun: "He’s got all this money and he’s finally worked out what he wants to do with it all - be near his kids and their mum."
“He’s been through a string of break-ups there and people have taken advantage of him. The money made him lonely.
“It had reached the stage where he was just sat around watching sport and eating."
The source claims the £10million mansion, which Mr Bayford purchased with his ex-wife after their lottery win, was full of sad memories for him.
Removal vans were seen at the estate this week before Mr Bayford was driven to his new home by his parents, it was reported.
But Mr Bayford, who once ran a music store, insisted on Friday night that he was not moving to Scotland and instead planning to follow his dream of moving to Australia.
After Mr Bayford's marriage ended, he got engaged to stable girl Samantha Burbidge, then 27, after a six-week relationship.
But their relationship didn't last long and resulted in Ms Burbidge walking out in January 2017.
Mr Bayford, originally from Haverhill, Suffolk, was later reportedly dumped by waitress Lisa Kemp after she found messages to former flame Marta Jarosz.
