Euromillions winner Colin Weir took just 10 minutes to snap up his £3.5m mansion before burning his fortune in the months before his tragic death.
Mr Weir became Scotland's biggest lottery winner when he and wife Christine scooped £161 million in 2011.
But he died in December 2019 from from sepsis and an acute kidney injury, aged 71.
He signed over sole ownership of £3.5million Frognal House, near Troon, to Christine who he divorced before his death.
The couple reportedly bought the mansion, along with furniture and fittings, after a 10-minute viewing.
New documents show he was spending £100,000 a week - every week - and by the time he died, Mr Weir had spent £40million in just eight years.
One financial expert said: “Spending £40million in eight years takes a bit of doing.”
Before his huge jackpot win, Mr Weir had worked as a cameraman at Scottish broadcaster STV. His ex-wife Christine previously worked as a psychiatric nurse.
He splashed out on cars and pumped money into his favourite football club, Partick Thistle.
He also shared his fortune with friends and charitable trusts, and passed on money to his two children with Christine – Carly, 32, and Jamie, 30.
His garage housed four luxury cars – a vintage Bentley Arnage, worth £10,000, a £28,250 three-year-old Jaguar F-Pace SUV, a £24,000 four-year-old Mercedes Benz E Class Estate and a 2019 Mercedes Benz V Class people carrier, valued at about £35,000.
He bought a 55 per cent stake in Partick Thistle a month before he died so he could donate the club to the fans and put its future in the hands of the local community.
At the time of his death, he lived in a £1.1million five-bedroom seafront home in Ayr, which he bought in June 2018 after his marriage split.
Papers show his council tax was £37.08 in credit and he had the maximum £50,000 in National Savings and Investments Premium Bonds.
