- The 33-year-old sign manufacturer and fitter said he used £15,000 to clear all the debts he and his wife Rachel, 29, had from credit card bills, loans and bank overdrafts.
- After setting aside almost £2,000 to cover legal fees for his divorce, he bought clothing, toys and household items for their two young children.
- Mr Brown also used some cash to 'live off', having being signed off from work because of 'depression'.
- But he admits he spent most of the rest on 'having a good time', including an iPad, a holiday in Mexico and the outlay of £4,000 on a second-hand X-type Jaguar estate car.
- The final part of his winnings went days before his own August 21 deadline to pay for an electrician's course, so he could start a new career.

As it turned out, Mr Brown was right to suspect that his wife, who he says asked him for a divorce on Christmas Day last year when he allegedly found she had been having an affair with a truck driver she met over the internet, would want to cash in on his lucky break.

As soon as the Channel 4 programme was broadcast, she went to court in a belated bid to ensure she received a share.

The case went before a district judge at Doncaster County Court last Thursday, when Mr Brown was ordered to detail in writing how the money was spent; an injunction imposed days earlier ordering him not to spend his winnings – if any remained – was kept in place; and the case was adjourned.
