  • a huge amount of money now at the time she was a interview by the press as you

  • said the following:

  • I will not go wild in spend loads I'm going to take some advice

  • and see an accountant hopefully I'll make us

  • all comfortable I want to help my family but I won't change

  • I just want a normal home nothing posh I just want a normal car as well

  • Roy and Bob she did not a group thing spent living crap out of money

  • and maybe that's why you should let 60 square who are absolutely but

  • the same thing happens with adults so now that's a that's a problem that you

  • see over and over again with lottery winners

  • so she partied like crazy and she had a dark past she says that you know she was

  • a victim of rape in you know she had inner demons

  • and when she won that money it didn't make her happy actually lead to more

  • problems

  • and socio she got involved in a bunch of bad things she's really elaborate on it

  • but it got to a point where she only had a couple thousand left in her bank

  • account so what I mean is definitely drugs
