'Bored' £9million lottery winner drank himself to death
By Daily Mail Reporter
25th October 2010


A father-of-two who won £9million on the lottery was so 'bored' after he gave up his job as a baker he drank himself to death,
Keith Gough, 58, of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was thought to be penniless when he died in March after suffering a heart attack brought on by drinking and stress.
But he had actually left nearly £800,000 in his will, it emerged last week.

Mr Gough and his wife Louise won £9million in 2005 and splashed out on a top-of-the-range BMW, racehorses and an executive box at Aston Villa Football Club.
But the couple, who were married for 27 years, separated two years later after Mr Gough quit his job and began drinking heavily out of 'boredom'.

He moved to Cheshire where he rented a £1million home and hired a chauffeur and a gardener on annual salaries of £25,000 and £15,000 respectively.

But he blew a fortune on gambling and was duped out of more than £700,000 by conman James Prince, who persuaded him to invest in bogus business schemes.
He met the fraudster while he was being treated for alcohol dependency in the Priory rehabilitation clinic in Birmingham.
Prince, 37, was jailed for three years and four months at Chester Crown Court in June last year after he admitted fraud and money laundering.

Probate records released last week reveal that Mr Gough, a father-of-two, left an estate of £1,286,820, reduced after liabilities to £783,802.
Mr Gough claimed in an interview last year that his life had been 'ruined' by his lottery win.
He said: 'Without routine in my life I started to spend, spend, spend. In the end I was just bored.
'Before the win all I would drink was some wine with a meal. I used to be popular but I've driven away all my friends. I don't trust anyone any more.
'When I see someone going in to a newsagent, I advise them not to buy a lottery ticket.'
