BiographyBorn in Bristol, Scadding and his first wife Rose-Marie had three children. At the time of his lottery win, Scadding had for some time been resident in Newport, Wales, where he lived with his second wife and co-lottery winner, Samantha Peachey-Scadding.[1] Scadding had been unemployed for a year before buying the winning ticket, and had overcome testicular cancer five years earlier.[2] In June 2009, Scadding and his wife won £45.5 million through the lottery EuroMillions. At that time aged 53, his wife 38, Scadding gave each of his three children from his first marriage an undisclosed seven-figure sum, but did not share any with their mother.[3][4][5] TelevisionIn August 2014, Scadding presented a four-part TV series for ITV featuring Welsh lottery winners, titled "The Welsh Millionaires Club".[6] Newport County{{main|Newport County A.F.C.}}In August 2012, Scadding succeeded Chris Blight as the chairman of Newport County A.F.C., shortly after accepting an offer to join their board of directors.[7] Just over eight months after he took the position, Newport defeated fellow Welsh club Wrexham in the 2013 Conference Premier play-off Final to gain promotion to the Football League following a 25-year absence.[8] On 18 June 2015, Scadding resigned his positions as both the chairman and a director at Newport County.[9] It was later reported that Scadding wished to spend more time at his holiday home in Barbados.[10] References1. ^{{cite news|title=UK Lottery winners are unveiled|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8352121.stm|accessdate=5 April 2014| work=BBC News|date=10 November 2009}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Scadding, Les}}2. ^{{cite news|title='I was destined to win the lottery': £45.5m Euromillions winner is cancer victim who had been out of work for a year|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1226569/45-5m-Euromillions-lottery-winner-Lee-Scadding-cancer-victim-work-year.html|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=Daily Mail|author=Paul Harris|date=11 November 2009}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=EuroMillions winner Les Scadding's ex-wife: 'I'm pleased for Les, but I would rather have my happiness than his fortune" - exclusive|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/euromillions-winner-les-scaddings-ex-wife-430521|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=Mirror|author=Richard Smith|date=12 November 2009}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=£45m lottery winner Les Scadding gives nothing to mother of children|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/45m-lottery-winner-les-scadding-433887|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=Mirror|author=Richard Smith|date=28 November 2009}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Bristol lottery winner shares fortune with children|url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-lottery-winner-shares-fotune-children/story-11237987-detail/story.html|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=Bristol Post|date=30 November 2009}} 6. ^Welsh Millionaires Club 7. ^{{cite news|title=Millionaire Les Scadding takes over as Newport County chairman|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/19043327|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=BBC Sport|date=23 August 2012}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Wrexham 0 - 2 Newport County|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/22335600|accessdate=5 April 2014|work=BBC Sport|author=Dewi Hughes|date=5 May 2013}} 9. ^[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33180126 Scadding resigns] 10. ^https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33528401 8 : Living people|People from Bristol|People from Newport, Wales|Testicular cancer survivors|English football chairmen and investors|British expatriates in Barbados|Lottery winners|Year of birth missing (living people) |
