  • Kelly Rogers a sixteen years old when she won the British lottery actually the

  • national lottery jackpot a

  • two-point eight million dollars for small

  • I'm amazed that at the age of 16 you even allowed to play the lottery

  • in the UK apparently she was allowed to and she won

  • 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

  • rate yeah she did drugs yet so that you run through the money if you got a drug

  • problem there's no question about

  • in fact let's look at the list above items you purchase or activity she

  • participated as shit to breast implant surgeries she attempted suicide four

  • times which is depressing as she sped

  • almost four hundred thousand dollars on cocaine she is this Matt what

  • terrible waste the money man you know how many you to shows like a surfer

  • how many stories are we done with the lottery winner drugs themselves crazy

  • loses all the money

  • and nearly commit suicide now look she's now apparently happy

  • now that she's what was the money yes so it's a very ironic twist at the end

  • fantasticks so she won the lottery back in 2003

  • at this point she has three kids she has a a partner that she's in love with a

  • nice a partner because I'm not sure if she's married to him

  • or if the other just you know cohabitating I am but she says the

  • following: I

  • 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 an off and not for the better

  • yeah its it's hard to have the right influences I'm sure when people smell

  • that money

  • they came rushing in and they're like college to this list do that and they

  • want to get a piece of the action they like try this

  • to understand that people are going to use you and take advantage of you and

  • you have to be smarter than that

  • and I know it's easier said than done because saying no to someone who does

  • have some sort of financial issue was a very difficult thing to do

  • but I don't like the idea of people like basically neglecting me not giving a

  • crap about me in the coming around when they find out I have money
