LOTTO BADBOY’S EX GIVES HIM ANOTHER SHOT AT MARRIAGE

SECOND CHANCE FOR WINNER WHO BLEW £9.7M Couple tie the knot.. again

- Craig Robertson

Infamous lottery winner Mickey Carroll has remarried his ex-wife who once branded him a “big shot” and left him for using prostitute­s.

The 38-year-old blew the £9.7million fortune he won in 2002 on sex parties, drugs, fast cars and holidays.

But he now seems to be living the quiet life in Belfast after tying the knot with his ex, Sandra Aiken, in a small ceremony last Saturday.

In an interview in 2009 she attacked him for his high- stakes lifestyle after their divorce.

But that was all forgotten about when Rangers- daft Mickey announced to Facebook pals that he’d married Sandra – who has added Carroll to her name.

A friend said: “Mickey’s calmed down a lot and has been living quite a nice wee life and d working hard. Him and Sandra a buried the hatchet and got back k together and it has all worked d out well for them.

“It happened very quickly in n the last few months but they fell ell right back in love and are really happy together now. What’s in the past has been forgotten about.”

Mickey ended up penni less and homeless after his hedonistic partying days on the beaches of Jamaica, Barbados and Puerto Banus.

He was frequently pictured sporting Ibrox club-branded jewellery and sportswear, and was labelled as “Rangers-Daft Lotto Lout” and “King of Chavs” for racking up anti- social behaviour conviction­s and jail time.

Mickey was only 19 and working as a binman in Norfolk when he spent his last pound on his f irst- ever lottery ticket.

He’d said: “It didn’t go wrong – it was the best 10 years of my life for £1. I dondon’t t

look back with any regrets, thathat’s for sure.

“I reckon I’m lucky to be alivalive. If I still had the money

I’d probably be 6ft under.” In 2019 it was revealed how he hhadd a jobjb ddeliverin­gli coal and logs in Moray for £ 400-a-week after moving to Scotland for a fresh start.

He rented a f lat in Elgin where he worked in number of jobs including in a slaughterh­ouse and biscuit factory.

The pair, who divorced in 2008, have a teenage daughter, and had just become engaged when he hit the jackpot in November 2002.

Sandra, now 38, said in 2009: “Mickey thought he was a big shot, better than everyone because he had money, and he surrounded himself with hangers-on.

“I left because he was frittering away £10million on drink and drug binges and was cheating on me with prostitute­s.”

The couple declined to comment on their new marriage.g
