Well he did last 8 years. That's better than some. And at least he enjoyed himself.

the title is misleading he gave away most of his money to friends and relatives ....

...and hookers and drug dealers :1orglaugh

It sounds like he picked up lots of street hookers at an average of £50 each.

Well I think ok he's a dumb ass, he blew the lot.... But if there is truth in the fact that he gave some away to help his mates and relatives out then that makes him a better person than the picture paints... Who knows what problems him and his wife had before hand anyway? maybe she seen it as an excuse to fuck off and get a bit of that cash ? who knows.... Long as he had fun the only way he knows how to then in his case it was money well spent :2 cents:

"He said: 'The party has ended and it's back to reality. I haven't got two pennies to rub together and that's the way I like it. I find it easier to live off £42 dole than a million."

I like the guy

interesting story.. he must have had a blast either way.

I like the "Orange bastard" quote in your post, nice one lol

Looks like he ate well at least

I don't know why there is so much hate for the guy. Sounds like had a blast and isn't bitter about being broke. Seems to me he couldn't handle the money or the partying would have eventually killed him.

He seems like he's ok with what he's done so more power to him.. I find it a funny story TBH..

For some reasons I'm not surprised...

what a fucking dope

Sounds like he had a good time!

wanker.. Guess he never did a hard days work in his life before he won. If he did he would have known the worth of what he got and not blown it.

what goes up must come down and spread out...

what a nutter

that's funny. who cares. didn't hurt you.

There was no doubt in my mind that this would happen to this guy.

Good fucking luck to him. ha ha.

"Bin of the Chavs: Lotto lout Michael Carroll set to return to old job after blowing £9.7m win."

I watched the interview with him and he said how he will repeat everything if he would won lotto again and how he doesn't regret anything.

Well, I'm gonna win the $260 million dollar Powerball jackpot tonight. I'll be sure to take good care of my winnings :)

Thanks, hehehe! :thumbsup

looks like money kill him !

what a lucky poor rick guy

Even intelligent people have a problem hanging on to a lottery win. It just goes to their heads and is soon blown.

So long as he enjoyed it, bet he will feel differently when he's still emptying bins at 50.

What ?......

My Ex's parents lived right near this nobend.

They hated him as did the whole neighbourhood.

A complete cunt blister :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Old Channel 4 interview with him.

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3

I love this story...he wisely invested all of the money on Hookers, Drugs and the rest he wasted! Sounds like a great investment!

Mr. Romance

HAhahahahhahahahaahaha.... If I won it I would double it in one year... and live in the fucking castle to the end of days. But I will never win lottery because I don't play and I don't like this kind of hazard.

Lots of jealous people.
It was his money. He enjoyed it his way.

So he spent only 3300 per day for the last 8 years ....

I like his response to his new found level of basic though

Stupidity at it's finest!

besides the lottery, how is his story any different from some of the board members lifestyle right here who blow it on the exact same thing... ?

i bet that guy has some awesome stories

hell yeah, agree

you'll only live once and do the best of it

I saw him on one of those "the lottery ruined me" tv shows. At one point he and his buddies bought some cars and proceeded to smash them up in the backyard demo-derby style. His neighbors were quite angry, lol. The dude was drunk 24/7 it seemed by the story.
