Britain’s youngest lottery winner Callie Rogers who blew £1.8M jackpot she scooped when she was 16 on drugs and boob jobs is going to university to become a nurse aged 34

• Callie Rogers was left penniless after spending all her National Lottery winnings
• Rogers won the jackpot when she was just a teenager earning £3.60 an hour

Britain’s youngest National Lottery winner who spent much of her £1.8million prize money on drugs and cosmetic surgery has reportedly revealed she is returning to education to become a nurse. 

Callie Rogers, 34, was just 16 when she won nearly £2million in 2003. 

She later revealed she blew £18,000 on boob jobs, £300,000 on clothes and £500,000 on ‘gifts’ to friends and family, leaving her penniless. 

Ms Rogers is said to have revealed she wishes to turn her life around and secured a place on a nursing course at the University of Central Lancashire.

She said: ‘Taking time out and working on yourself to become a better person pays off,’ The Sun reports.

 Ms Rogers, who was working at a Co Op in Cumbria, was just 16 when she won nearly £2million in 2003

‘So proud of myself and the future I’m making for my little family,’ she added.

Ms Rogers won the jackpot when she was just a teenager earning £3.60 an hour as a checkout girl at the Co-op and was living with foster parents in Cockermouth, Cumbria. 

The mother-of-four was also hit with a 22-month driving ban in 2021 after her 4×4 crashed into a hedge whilst she was high on cocaine, The Sun reported.

Rogers had to be pepper sprayed when police detained her after she veered off a country lane while being chased by police in Cumbria.   

In 2018 Callie was assaulted by two women after a night out, leaving her unconcious with broken ribs, smashed teeth, concussion and permanent sight damage.

Ms Rogers has previously said lottery companies should impose an age limit on players

In March 2021, it was reported that the lottery winner was claiming Universal Credit despite her 2003 win of £1.8million.

Ms Rogers has previously said lottery companies should impose an age limit on players – after her own fortune sent her off the rails, made it hard for her to trust people and left her struggling to live in the glare of the limelight.

She said: ‘You’re only 16, with all that responsibility. At that age, you can get the best advice ever but you’re not in a position to listen.

‘I was too young. Overnight I went from [a] carefree child to adult.’

She has previously told how at such a young age her lottery win sent her on a downward trajectory. 

Within weeks of winning she met Nicky Lawson, father of her eldest two children, and moved into a £180,000 bungalow. 

But five years later, her relationship fell apart, leading to Rogers attempting suicide.

At a particular low point, her children were taken away from her, and she splashed £17,000 on a boob job to help with her confidence.
