In 2003, Callie Rogers worked at a supershop called 'Co-op' in the UK for just £3 an hour. He was 16 years old at that time. And at this age he won a British jackpot! As a result, he became the youngest lottery winner in the world.
The amount of money received in that lottery 20 years ago was 1.85 million pounds. In Bangladeshi currency which is more than 28 crore 50 lakh rupees. This huge sum changed Callie's life overnight. And that changed life eventually took away all his pounds.
Callie, now 37, gave birth to her fifth child last month. He doesn't have any money from winning the lottery anymore. However, it seems to him that this life is much more joyful and happy than that huge wealth of that day. The Mirror published a report on his life experience on Thursday (November 7).
It is known that after Kelly won the lottery at the age of 16, a law was passed in the UK setting the minimum age to participate in the game. Under the new law, anyone under the age of 18 cannot buy a jackpot ticket. Callie was a living proof that big money at a young age can have dire consequences.
Callie Rogers also now thinks she was too young to receive such a life-changing sum of money. As a result, he lost himself in the realm of drugs, sinking into depression. He even tried to commit suicide.
All-night parties, luxury designer clothes, confidence-boosting cosmetic surgery—that's how Kelly, who lives in Workington, England, has spent the past 20 years. After all the money is gone, he calls the present time 'normal life'. Recently posting a picture of her five-week-old daughter, she wrote, 'The best five weeks of life. Love you little baby.'
According to The Sun, Kaley is now 35-year-old with a new partner. Once appearing on ITV's 'This Morning' show, he claimed that he fell into a cycle of depression after receiving huge sums of money as a teenager. At that time many fake friends gathered around him. These friends did not actually love him, but were always trying to steal his money.
Reminiscing about winning the lottery, he said, 'I went from being a normal child to an adult overnight. It still haunts me.'
