Michael Carroll, 27, became extremely rich 8 years ago when he took home the jackpot in a big lottery. Michael was at that time 19-years-old and living in small town in England. He had a quite bad reputation at that time because of his criminal past, and it didn't take long before he got the nickname "Lotto Lour" by the press.

If someone had given me those 9,7 millions, I would still have at least 6 millions of it 8 years later. The rest of the money would have been used to investments, like a nice house... and some properties.. that guy must feel awful right now, Im sorry for his family

I'm not so sorry for him: fortune knock at your door and you shut it on its face....then you are such an idiot. You should think he was only 19 yo when it happened: well, now when he says "If you give £9.7 million to a 19-year-old, what do you think is going to happen?" he is confirming everybody his lacking in intelligence
I'm sorry for other kind of people not these ones
PS: looking at his picture I have to admit I shouldn't say what I just said directly to him

I believe age has nothing to do with wether a person will blow out all his money or not. its simply a matter of character. No matter what your age or background is, if you have character, then you can take any big amount (or small for that matter) and make it work for you.
