Callie Rogers was just a checkout girl and living with her foster parents in 2003. The 16-year-old earned around $5 per hour before winning the destiny lottery of her life.

When Rogers bought the lottery ticket, she didn’t think she would become the youngest lottery winner in the UK at the age of 16. The teenager was speechless when knowing she won $2.5 million in total. Rogers strongly believed that whopping amount of money would bring a much better future to her life.

How she spent $2.5 million in 18 years

Just weeks after she won the lottery, Callie Rogers met her then-boyfriend Nicky Lawson and moved to a luxury wooden house worth $248,000. They had two children together.

However, the couple separated after 5 years in the relationship, leaving Callie Rogers in negative thoughts and desperation. To gain back her confidence, Rogers spent $23,500 on breast enhancement surgeries. She was also claimed to spend a lot of money on illegal substances but the mother of two constantly denied it.

As lots of people knew she won the lottery, many had approached Rogers to siphon her money away. She used to share on Closer magazines that she met many strange people in the region who would talk to her in the pub as if they were her best friends. She felt stressed as she was supposed to buy all these people food and drinks.

In the years later, Callie Rogers could not escape the trap of money. She lost her control and spent money on expensive designer clothes as well as cosmetics surgeries for no reason.

She also gave her family $700,000 but that’s nothing compared to the amount evaporated in endless parties and luxury stuff.

Eighteen years after the day she won the lottery, Callie Rogers was found penniless and living on benefits. She was also given a 22-month driving ban weeks ago for DUI.

 

After breaking up with Nicky Lawson, Rogers dated several men and had two more children. The mother of four regretted her previous life period when she could not control her spending. She also realized it’s the massive lottery win at such a young age that resulted in all her struggles.

She said even when she thought the money would change her life forever, it remained the same. She just wanted to be back to a normal life like before she won the lottery. At least she didn’t feel the pressure and desire to escape the extravagant life as some years ago.
