A British man has won £2.3 million (NZ$4.9 million) on the lottery, just one day after finalising his divorce to his wife, UK media reports say. Fifty-year-old Kevin Halstead spent last Friday with his friends after the divorce was completed before buying a lottery ticket the next day, the Daily Express reported. ''Kevin's divorce dragged on for a couple of years,'' the Express quoted his friend as saying. ''Everything was settled on Friday so he went out and got drunk. On Saturday he decided to spend his last quid on a lottery ticket. ''
