A Lottery winner who moved to Perth after scooping £11 million has died aged 73.
Paul Maddison and his former business partner Mark Gardiner split the £22.5m cash prize in 1995.
Mr Maddison, originally from Hastings in East Sussex, moved to Perth the year after the win to be closer to his sister Annie Ferguson.

A story in the Evening Telegraph at the time told how he was reported to have bought a £350,000 house in the city’s Kinnoull Hill area.
He was also said to have been looking at buying a business in Perth.
Within a few years, Mr Maddison had moved to an estate near Dumfries, where he lived with his wife Evelyn.
After moving, he sued The Laundry Shop in Perth for £953 in a row over tea-stained bedding.
It is understood the couple had recently returned to the Perth and Kinross area.
Mr Maddison died on November 28, having reportedly lost Evelyn earlier in the year.
A spokesperson for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said: “The procurator fiscal received a report in connection with the death of a 73-year-old man in Perth on November 28.
“Following investigation the procurator fiscal concluded that no further action was required.
“The family have been informed.”
