CURSE OF MY £1.9M LOTT WIN
JACKPOT AT 16 LEFT CALLIE’S LIFE IN MESS
BRITAIN’S youngest Lottery winner wishes she had never bought the ticket.
Callie Rogers was 16 when she scooped £1.9million in 2003 but blew a fortune on fast cars, holidays and gifts to “fake friends”.
The former Co-op shelf stacker, now 32, said she spent hundreds of thousands on family and friends, was abused by strangers and beaten up by jealous women.
Callie, of Workington, Cumbria, said: “I was a 16-year-old child going to work and living a carefree life with my friends.
“Then all of a sudden I couldn’t open my front door with photographers and stuff being there.
“I think at the time I was so desperate for everybody to like me I would literally help anybody out.
“I wanted to just go back to work and live my normal life again.”
Callie spent £17,000 on boob operations. But she dismissed claims she blew £250,000 on cocaine as lies drummed up by an ex-boyfriend after she dumped him.
The mum of three has just a house left from her fortune and works as a £12,000-a-year carer.
She added: “Other than that I’ve got all the life experience with it, which made me who I am today – which I’m quite proud of.”
National Lottery operator Camelot said: “We will continue to support Callie in any way we can.”
