Lottery winner who scooped £10k a month for next 30 years dumped by partner

A lottery winner who scooped £10,000 a month for the next 30 years has been dumped by his partner and claims she has cut him off from the jackpot.

Laura Hoyle, 40, and Kirk Stevens, 39, from Nottingham, won the jackpot in the National Lottery's Set For Life draw - a total of £3.6million split over 30 years.

Mr Stevens had been letting Miss Hoyle live with him for free as he 'didn't expect her to pay rent' so the pair decided she would put £25 a week into the lotto.

The deal paid off for the couple but Mr Stevens claimed Miss Hoyle has now broken up with him, snubbed him from the winnings and 'even wants our two dogs'.

The couple said they planned to set up a ghost hunting business and were photographed holding their cheque - written out to both of them. 

However a year and a half later Miss Hoyle dumped Mr Stevens, got a new house, and he says she took the jackpot, The Sun reported.

Mr Stevens, an engineer, said his ex had told him the pair would 'live the life of Riley' if they won but 'now she's gone'.

He added: 'She pulled the plug and took everything. She even wants our two dogs.'

Camelot has said that all Lotto wins are paid to an individual, even in a syndicate, and told the Sun that the winning account was hers.

She had no comment when she was contacted by the Sun last night. 

Earlier this year Miss Hoyle said the pair were planning to go to Disneyland Paris in the summer, as well as 'lots of other exciting places', but Mr Stevens said she has since dumped him.
