A Lottery winner who blew a £5.1 million jackpot he won three years ago is being hunted by bailiffs chasing more than £370,000 of debt.
Pete Kyle managed to spend all his money and was forced to sell his luxury cars and a plush five-bedroom home in Plymouth, Devon.
The 55-year-old former Royal Artillery gunner, who won his fortune in February 2005, was working and living in a £15 a night guesthouse but staff at the Rooms Hotel said he had left and may have gone abroad.
Businessman Steve Hawken now owns Mr Kyle's former home which he bought for a knockdown £540,000 as a repossession.
He said since October when he moved into the property, which came with Jacuzzi, steam room, bar and snooker table, he has been inundated with letters from creditors and visits from bailiffs.
In the last six months bills of more than £370,000 were sent to the address.
The 40-year-old said he has written to 260 people to tell them Mr Kyle no longer lives there.
"I'm sick to death of bailiffs and other people knocking on the door for him," he said.
"I'm trying to run a business and this is day in day out"
