Game show contestant spends winnings fast to keep them from his estranged wife

Scott Brown won $80,000 on 'Deal or No Deal' and spent it in less than four months

A British man must have felt like Montgomery Brewster after winning almost $80,000 on the show Deal or No Deal because he spent his winnings in a hurry.

According to The Inquisitr, Scott Brown was so determined to not give a penny of his small fortune to his estranged wife, Rachel, that he spent as much of the money as he could in the four months between the time the show was filmed and it aired.

The couple, who have two children, married in 2009. According to the Daily Mail, Rachel asked him for a divorce on Christmas Day, 2011, when he allegedly learned she was having an affair with a truck driver she met on the Internet. Brown had moved out and was sleeping on the floor of his parents' house in April when he learned he was going to be a contestant on the game show.
