Kelly Rogers was 16 when she drew the lucky ticket and won $ 2.5 million (180 million rubles) in the lottery.
And 18 years after this fateful day, she lives on state benefits for the poor and single-handedly brings up four children from different fathers.
What happened and where did the young lucky woman spend such a huge amount of money?
First of all, the lucky British woman bought a house for herself for $ 250,000 and moved out from her parents. In a new house, she began to live with her boyfriend, whom she met even before winning.
Then, she got herself a $ 25,000 breast implant to feel more confident and beautiful.
After surgery, she took up the most real girly joys and began buying expensive cosmetics and designer clothes. This whim took her about $ 410,000.
After "shopping" she did not think of anything better than how to start having fun, having fun and, as they say, "go all out." She was drawn into parties with unfamiliar people, which she almost always sponsored herself. Alcohol and illegal substances were the main guests of these parties. And only one eighth of the winnings went to cocaine.
As a result, Kelly spent about $ 400,000 on parties.
Also, the girl did not forget about her relatives. In total, she spent about $ 260,000 on gifts and aid. And she bought a house for her foster parents and grandparents, spending about $ 500,000 on it.
And of course she loved her boyfriend very much. So, expensive gifts for him and his friends cost Kelly $ 250,000.
Between all these spending and parties, Kelly managed to give birth to her boyfriend two children.
Fun in this vein lasted more than 10 years and at some point the money started to run out and this led to the fact that gradually everyone turned away from Kelly and she was left alone with two children.
After such a stormy and carefree life, a new reality came as a shock to her. From powerlessness and hopelessness, she tried several times to commit suicide.
But, fate smiled at Kelly again and after a while she met a new love, but the relationship did not last long, and after them she had two more children.
The second breakup was a blow for the girl and she fell into depression.
As sad as it may be, it can be understood. After all, it is very difficult to come to terms with the fact that for many years you had everything you wanted, you could not care about what to live on and how to provide for your children. It seemed that a bright future awaits you and everything is ahead.
But, nothing lasts forever and now you need to come to terms with the fact that you have nothing. And the people who were next to you were only interested in your money. And now you have to live in the care of the state and no one is ready to help and support a beggar mother with many children.
Now the girl is left alone with 4 children, she is struggling with addictions and depression. She succeeds with difficulty and not everything is so smooth.
After all, more than half of her life she only spent money, but she did not learn how to earn it. Maybe in time she will succeed.
How would you handle your $ 2.5 million winnings?
