Kevin Halstead spent last Friday boozing with his buddies after the divorce was completed.
The next day he bought a lottery ticket, the Daily Express reported.
The 50-year-old ended up winning half the jackpot, coming away with almost $5 million.
Mr Halstead said he held no ill feelings towards his ex-wife and the two were still good mates.
The couple split up about 13 years ago but weren't divorced until recently.
His ex-wife, 48-year-old Helen, told the Express she was not upset.
Mr Halstead plans to spend the money on a holiday and a pony for his 14-year-old daughter, Jessica.

Lucky man! Double lucky! Finally sheds a nagging wife, and gets rich to boot. Just hope he is not an A-hole, and maybe his wife was very nice. Who knows? Let's hope he uses the money wisely and is luckier in love next time.
