Britain's youngest ever lottery winner shared her heartbreaking 'one regret' after ending up bankrupt

Britain's youngest ever lottery winner has shared her biggest regret after becoming a millionaire and then going bankrupt.

Back in 2003, 16-year-old Callie Rogers was working as a shop assistant in her local Co-op and earning just £3.60 an hour when she decided to take part in the National Lottery.

Little did she know that her life would change forever at this moment.

A winning a huge £1.875 million lead to Callie becoming Britain's youngest ever jackpot success.

In the years that followed, Callie enjoyed a whirlwind shopping spree, splashing out half a million on homes for herself, family and friends as well as dropping an additional £550k on clothes, tattoos and travelling.

However, the teenager would also discover the devastating reality about winning the lottery - which is that a lot of people show up out of the woodwork hoping to cash in on your good fortune.

Callie also gave generous loans - some as much as £20,000 - to friends and family who wanted in on the lavish lifestyle. She also developed an expensive cocaine habit, spending around £250,000 on the class A drug.

"I liked being able to help my family and doing stuff for people I cared about, but I wanted to just go back to work and live my normal life again," she said in 2019.

"People asked for money for new cars and I would help out. I was a soft touch. Now I realise what they were like.

"I was exploited because of my age. I had a lot of fake relationships."

This wasn't the first time Callie had opened up on how the greedy actions of others impacted her, explaining during an appearance on this morning that she'd also developed 'trust issues'.

"Not knowing who liked me for me, and having all the stress of all the money...I just wanted to go back to having a normal life," she added.

Nearly two decades on and Callie works as a carer, after going back to school and retraining.

According to an interview she gave to The Sun last year, she lives with her children in a £400-a-month house in Workington and makes sure she can buy them 'a few treats' at the end of the month.

However, her one biggest regret is not saving any of her winnings, which she could have used to support her son with cerebral palsy.

"It’s my one big regret is that the money isn’t here for Blake," she said.

"He loves sensory stimulation. If I had that money, I’d give him the biggest sensory room you could buy."
