Now twice-married ex-history teacher Gerry, 70, is enjoying a champagne-quaffing lifestyle with Samantha Cardell, 55.
And a friend has claimed Gerry doesn't spend much, so his new love could help him splash the money.
The pal said: "Everyone has tried to make out there was this dramatic split with affairs and things - but it couldn't be further from the truth.
"The reality is Gerry and Lisa split and have both happily found new people to move on with.

"Gerry isn't known as much of a spender so it's fantastic he's found someone to help him enjoy all those millions he's got in the bank."
Mum-of-three Sam previously lived in a £750,000 detached home with her Ford Galaxy-driving accountant ex Andrew, at the end of the country lane where Gerry bought his Lotto mansion.
She had been a parent at the school where he taught before his win.
Sam is now a named owner of the £2m new build country mansion she shares with him in Lincolnshire.

Meanwhile Lisa - now blonde - has found love with football-mad trucker Carl Weaver.
Turquoise Porsche-driving Lisa, 55, is still at the £2m mansion she bought with Gerry after their 2016 jackpot.
Another friend said: "Lisa is enjoying the quiet life with her down-to-earth new man - gardening and going on walks after years of slogging it out as a teacher.
"No-one knows if Carl has converted Lisa to supporting Wolves, but you can bet he's tried."
