Kevin Halstead wins $3.8 million on lottery day after divorce from ex-wife Helen
* By Ben Ashford
A MAN who bought a lotto ticket the day after celebrating his divorce had come through with friends is now more than happy - he won over $3 million.
Bus driver Kevin Halstead, 50, went for a drink with friends after his decree absolute arrived in the post last Friday.
He bought a lottery ticket the next day - and was gobsmacked when his lucky numbers came up later that evening.
Kevin could have been forced to hand half the $3,817,875.30 to ex-wife Helen if the divorce had taken just a few days longer.
