Britain's youngest ever lottery winner welcomed her fifth child last month and says she is finally happy after a rollercoaster ten years since her famous jackpot.

But she has warned people to think twice before buying a ticket - or telling anyone about your winnings.

Callie Rogers, now 37, won a whopping £1.875m back in 2003 when she was just 16 years old.

The legal age for playing the lottery has changed since then, but the former millionaire still says she was "too young" to win the life-changing amount of money which sent her into a spiral of depression and drugs and even tried to take her own life.

The mum from Workington, Cumbria spent nearly 20 years burning through the money on parties, designer clothes, and cosmetic surgery including £17,000 on boob jobs to boost her self-confidence.

And despite losing all her winnings she says she's happier now living a 'normal life' than she was after winning.

After giving birth, Callie shared heartwarming photos of her newborn daughter Navie-Nicola on her Facebook page. One of the baby at five weeks old was captioned “The Best five Weeks Of Life Loving You Our Little Bean”, and another “Mammys precious girl”.

She is also in a relationship with new man Lee Matthews, 35, according to The Sun

Appearing on ITV's This Morning several years ago, Callie shared how she struggled with 'trust issues' because of the money. She said: "Not knowing who liked me for me, and having all the stress of all the money, I just wanted to go back to having a normal life. I still struggle with trust issues."

She claimed that after coming into the money as a teen, she was plunged into a cycle of despair as she suffered physical and verbal abuse and was hounded by 'fake friends' who only wanted a slice of her fortune. As such, she previously called on ministers to raise the lottery gambling age limit to 18 so that other youngsters didn't go through what she had.

The National Lottery age limit has since been raised so that players must be 18 or over, but Callie, who is now studying to become a nurse, has shared her story in hopes kids will never play it.

She said: "People still ask me about the lottery win all the time. You are only 16, with all that responsibility. At that age, you can get the best advice ever. But you are not in a position to listen. I was too young.

"Overnight I went from carefree child to adult. All these years on, it still gets dragged up. Even when I go for job interviews, I am thinking about it. I suffer from such bad anxiety when I am going to meet new people. It preys on my mind, what a new partner's family will think of me, or even new friends. I still get abuse just because of who I am."

At the time of Callie's win, she was earning £3.60 an hour as a Co-op shop assistant in her hometown. She continued: "I did not want that much money. I was in foster care and for the first time in a long time, I was really settled and really happy.

"When they told me it was a £15million jackpot, I thought, 'I don't want that much'. In the end it was shared out and I got £1.85million, but even then it was hard to take in. At 16 you do not know what is ahead of you, because by God I did not expect any of that. I asked the Co-op if I could have my old job back."

Following her win, Callie moved out and bought her first house at 16, she also splashed the cash on holidays, cars, and presents.

She added: "I would give money to distant relatives and friends of friends. I loaned £20,000 here, £13,000 there. I would never get it back. People asked for money for new cars and I would help out. I was a soft touch. Now I realise what they were like. I was exploited because of my age. I had a lot of fake relationships."

Things took a sinister twist for her age 21, when she tried to take her own life, and she's since advised any young winners to keep their fortune a secret.

Speaking to the Mirror previously about Callie's win, Camelot said: "Callie received extensive support from us which lasted many years. She didn't take up the independent financial and legal advice offered by us. However, our winner's team fully supported her and helped her to handle media interest. We will continue to support Callie in any way we can if she wants."
