Lotto’s mum’s gone to Iceland: UK’s youngest lottery winner Callie Rogers pops to budget store… after blowing her £1.8M prize money on parties, drugs and plastic surgery
- EXCLUSIVE: Callie Rodgers, 34, was just 16 when she won the £1.87M in 2003
- But she declared herself bankrupt two years ago after blowing all her money
- She was spotted in hometown of Workington shopping at discount store Iceland
The UK’s youngest lottery winner has been snapped shopping carrying an Iceland shopping bag after blowing away her £1.87million winnings.
Callie Rodgers, 34, was just 16 when she won the jackpot in 2003.
But she declared herself bankrupt two years ago after spending £18,000 on boob jobs, £300,000 on clothes, £500,000 on ‘gifts’ to friends and family as well as blowing copious amounts on partying and taking drugs.
She told Closer magazine in 2013: ‘It was too much money for someone so young.
‘Even if you say your life won’t change, it does – and often not for the better.
‘It nearly broke me, but thankfully, I’m now stronger.’

Ms Rodgers was spotted walking in Workington, Cumbria, which has been her hometown for 20 years.
Wearing a figure-hugging dress and puffing on a large vape, she was accompanied by a friend who tagged along while she ran errands.
It appears that her financial worries are taking a toll as she was seen carrying a shopping bag from the discount frozen food store, Iceland.
She was then spotted inside her modest Peugeot which is a dramatic contrast to the luxury cars most lottery winners buy and a far cry from the Hyundai 4×4 she used to own.
In 2021, she was given a driving ban after crashing her 4×4 while high on cocaine.

She had previously claimed to have spent £250,000 on cocaine but has since denied this

The mother-of-four had to be pepper sprayed when police detained her after she veered off a country lane while being chased by police in Cumbria.
As well as an almost two-year ban, she was ordered to wear an electronic tag for 11 weeks with a nighttime curfew at her home.
It was revealed in court that she was claiming Universal Credit despite her 2003 win of £1.8 million as the judge handed her a 22-month driving ban.
Ms Rodgers is still paying back debt she owes in monthly instalments via an individual voluntary agreement.
The former millionaire rents a four-bedroom house in Cumbria with an estimated value of £147,000 with her three children.

Callie (pictured in 2018) also says she was targeted by people who pretended to be her friends only to siphon her money away
She won the jackpot when she was just a teenager earning £3.60 an hour as a checkout girl.
At the time of her jackpot, she was living with foster parents in Cockermouth, Cumbria and working at the Co-op.
Within weeks 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 particularly low point, her children were taken away from her, and she splashed £17,000 on a boob job to help with her confidence.
She had previously claimed to have spent £250,000 on cocaine but has since denied this.
In 2018, she revealed how she thought she was going to die after being assaulted by two women on a night out.
She was knocked unconscious, had her teeth smashed, ribs broken and suffered permanent damage to her sight.
