The youngest winner of the British lottery, she lost everything 18 years later.
In 2003, she became the youngest winner in British lottery history after winning a €2 million jackpot. 18 years later, she is ruined and lives on social assistance, reports the Sun.
In 2003, Callie Rogers, 16, saw her life change. Working in a small store, the young woman won £1.8 million (approximately €2 million) in the British lottery. She became the youngest winner in the history of the English lottery.
Only, 18 years later, the British woman has nothing left! Young and carefree, Callie spent his money buying houses, cars, luxury clothes, illegal substances, and cosmetic surgery. Family and friends would also have benefited from his gain. "I was an easy target. It's only now that I realize what they've done to me. They took advantage of my young age, "said the 33-year-old woman.
An accident that makes her talk again
If the British media are talking about her again today, it is for a fact that is far less amusing than it was 18 years ago.
Under the influence of cocaine, Callie Rogers reportedly hit a hedge with her vehicle, before escaping with her boyfriend. She was finally caught up by the police, who had to use a pepper spray to control the former lottery winner. As a result, she was deprived of her driver's licence for 22 weeks.
During her trial, the British woman explained that she was entitled to "universal credit", a social assistance for people on low incomes.
"I was too young"
Despite his track record errors, Callie Rogers did not regret winning the lottery. However, she asked the lottery to change the minimum age for winning from 16 to 18. "you are only 16 years old, with all these responsibilities," she said.
"at this age, you can get the best advice there is, but you're not able to listen to it. I was too young. Overnight, I went from a carefree child to an adult. "
