Mickey Carroll - The janitor who won the lottery 300 billion 20 years ago now has a shocking life

In 2002, Mickey Carroll - a guy working as a sanitation worker became famous throughout the UK because he won the national jackpot worth £ 9.7 million (about VND 300 billion).

Mickey's previous predicament overwhelmed people with a spectacular life change in an instant. It can be said that Mickey was a person who was living at the "bottom of society". His parents divorced at a young age and no one cared about Mickey. When he grew up, the boy dropped out of school early, took up petty theft and struggled to live every day with a hard job as a janitor.

How Mickey Carroll will spend this huge amount of money is very interested in the British press. And the guy's first choice made everyone stunned. Mikey casually donated nearly half of the money, namely £ 4 million, to his girlfriend's family - Ms. Sandra Aiken.

The couple also got married shortly after. With nearly £6 million remaining, Mickey couldn't hold himself back and indulged in a lifestyle of debauchery, non-stop parties. Unable to bear an alcoholic husband who often brought home call girls, Sandra decided to definitively divorce Mickey even when she was 7 months pregnant. She received a "divorce fee" of 1.4 million pounds (about 43 billion VND).

"I left Mickey because he spent £10 million just to have fun, drugs and hook up with girls. He lost his mind, thought he was good and famous when he had that money," Sandra frankly replied about The reason for the divorce in 2008. Not only was it a mere squandering of a huge amount of property, but Mickey also made people bored when he often flaunted and bragged about how he spent his money in the press. He regularly organizes parties at his seaside villas and invites anyone to attend. The media therefore called Mickey "Britain's most overbearing lottery winner".

Whatever comes must come, after only a few short years, the janitor has returned to the starting line every day. The 300 billion fortune was spent by Mickey and nothing remained. With no money left, his previous friends also left. Bored of life and short of money, Mickey also became a criminal. He received a total of three prison terms for car theft and drug use. In 2013, the lucky winner of the lottery officially went bankrupt and became homeless and unemployed. When Mickey went to look for a job, many companies called him just to satisfy the curiosity about the person who won the jackpot, but with no intention of recruiting.

In the end, Mickey went to work as a worker at a cookie factory. Then he went to work as a butcher at a slaughterhouse. Currently, he shares that he is working as a coal miner in Scotland. At the end of a short life as a millionaire, Mickey returned to work as a poor worker.

But after all, this man with a life of ups and downs said that he does not regret what has passed, nor even regrets for spending so much. "Those 10 years were really interesting. I made mistakes but I don't want to go back in time. Now I live very well and am happy to have my life back," Mickey shared. In October, Mickey also officially remarried to ex-wife Sandra. She forgave Mickey for saying that his current brother has completely changed, living well and working hard every day.

Another case also won the jackpot but had a completely different life from Mickey Carroll. Eight years ago, then 23-year-old Matt Topham won the jackpot with a value of up to 45 million pounds (more than 1.3 trillion VND). Thereby, making him the youngest British person to win a grand prize of EuroMillions.

Back in 2012, after a huge amount of money from the jackpot win, the life of both husband and wife Matt and Cassey changed a lot. They spent money to buy an old mansion in Adams Hill, Nottingham for 1.2 million pounds (more than 36 billion VND). However, not long after that, the couple decided to rebuild a new house with more amenities and cost up to 5 million pounds (more than 153 billion VND). The new house has 8 bedrooms, a soundproof cinema, a botanical garden with a swimming pool, which many neighbors can not help but admire.

Not to mention this place has a garage so large that it can hold 10 cars. In addition, they equipped the house with a lot of solar panels, in line with the environmentally friendly criteria set by the couple.

However, the couple doesn't just spend money on expensive cars, building mansions or luxurious vacations. Recently, painter Matt spent about 600,000 pounds (more than 18 billion VND) to buy a zoo for his mother-in-law as a new Christmas present.

It is known that Cassey's mother, Jane, is managing an attraction in Louth, Lincs and now she owns it thanks to a gift from her son-in-law. In addition, the couple also used the money to buy a lot of animals for the mother-in-law's zoo. The Daily Mail reported that, before winning the lottery, Matt was a decorative painter, but since then, he has learned to fly a helicopter and even participate in racing. A lover of speed, the artist also competes in a number of races and last month won the Donington GT Cup Championship.
