How many times have you heard someone say they wouldn't blow all their money if they won the lottery? You'll have heard of the horror stories lottery winners' experience from doing so - and this one's no different.
According to the Sun, the youngest lottery winner in Britain has run out of winnings. That's right, Callie Rogers hit the jackpot at 16 years old and reportedly spent all of her £2 million jackpot on the essentials: drugs, cars, parties and boob operations.
The 33-year-old's son, Blake, suffers from cerebral palsy, meaning that he can't walk, talk or swallow on his own.

"I was never one for designer clothes or flash cars," Callie told the Daily Mail. "But it's my one big regret that the money isn't here for Blake.
"He loves sensory stimulation. If I had that money, I'd give him the biggest sensory room you could buy."
So, Callie didn't live down the party lifestyle when she had a huge amount of money in her pocket. In fact, she claims that she spent £250,000 on cocaine and £300,000 on clothes.
Oh, and she didn't have one boob job either. You should know that she had three, which set her back a whopping £18,000.
She also gave at least £500,000 to family and friends, realising later that some were using her for the cash.

Callie, who used to work as a checkout assistant, has now moved into life as a carer and is studying social care at school.
"My kids don't want for anything," she said. "At the end of the month, there is usually enough for a few treats, but I couldn't go out and buy a new car tomorrow. If I want a holiday, I have to save."
Right, you might not have much sympathy for her (who does when they win that much money?), but to be fair, she did win it when she was young. And yes, she has come out to say that the legal age of playing the lottery should be raised above 16.
If you do win the lottery, then spend that money wisely. Fair enough, live it up a bit. Go to Reading and Leeds Festivals for a crazy couple of days, but don't blow it and then expect that some people will have sympathy - they simply won't.
Now excuse us as we try our hands at the lottery - wish us the best of luck.
