Callie Rogers won £1.9m ten years ago; today she has £2,000 in her account

Callie Rogers won £1.9m ten years ago; today she has £2,000 in her account

Britain's youngest lottery winner, Callie Rogers says she has never been happier after blowing her £1.9million fortune.
Callie scooped the jackpot when she was just 16 but frittered the money away on drugs, booze and cosmetic surgery; becoming so depressed she even attempted suicide three times.
Ten years on, the mum-of-three has just £2,000 of her winning left in the bank but believes she is finally truly happy.
Callie said: "I can’t believe ten years have passed since I stood holding that huge cheque. It feels like a lifetime ago.
"I don't think of myself as a lottery winner - I try to forget the ups and downs I’ve been through and just feel like a normal person.
"It was too much money for someone so young. Even if you say your life won’t change, it does – and often not for the better."

Originally from a broken home, Callie was living in foster care following a string of rows with her mum Susan Wilkinson when she won the National Lottery in 2003.

She had been placed with a kindly couple, Brian and Sheila Holmes, but after her win she moved out and began spending her winnings.
