Michael Carroll worked as a binman. He was just 19 when he hit the biggest jackpot in the history of the UK in 2002, winning £10 million (more than $13 million dollars). That’s how the UK National Lottery gave him a chance to have a new start in life.
The guy bought a luxurious mansion and started frittering away his money on drink, drugs, prostitutes, wild parties, and cars.
In less than 10 years, Michael blew his whole fortune, and eventually had to sell his once luxurious mansion for just £100,000, which meant a £600,000 loss for him.
After paying back all his debts, he returned to his old job of a binman.
