"It's not always plain sailing": Couple who won £4.8m on lottery split as husband meets another woman

A couple who scooped a huge National Lottery jackpot 25 years ago are now going their separate ways after the husband met another woman. Barry Chuwen and partner Jenny transformed their lives after claiming a £4.8 million prize in 1997.

Barry, then 27, was able to gift his Glasgow hairdressing salon to his staff before embarking on a fresh career as a property investor and estate agent. But the financial crash brought huge difficulties for Barry's £30 million empire.

Now, the couple are separating after Barry admitted 'developing a relationship' with someone he met through work, reports the Daily Record. The couple became two of Scotland's biggest ever lottery winners when they scooped the jackpot.
