One of the UK’s youngest lottery winners has spoken of her regret at not saving money to support her disabled son.
Callie Rogers was only 16 when she scooped the £1.8million prize in 2003.
Much of her fortune went on £18,000 for boob jobs, £250,000 on cocaine, another £300,000 on clothes and she gave away £500,000 to friends and family.
However, Mrs Rogers says she wishes that she had saved some of her winnings for her son Blake who has cerebral palsy.
The six-year-old cannot walk, talk or swallow unaided.
She told the MailOnline : “I was never one for designer clothes or flash cars.
“But it’s my one big regret is that the money isn’t here for Blake.
“He loves sensory stimulation. If I had that money, I’d give him the biggest sensory room you could buy.”
Before hitting the jackpot she was earning £3.60 an hour as a Co-op checkout girl in Cockermouth, Cumbria.
Within weeks she met Nicky Lawson, father of her two eldest children, and had moved out to be with him.
She quit work and splashed out on designer clothes, lavish presents for her biological parents and holidays, spending quarter of a million pounds on cocaine.

Now the single mum works as a carer, after going back to school to study social care.
She stays in a £400-a-month house in a cul-de-sac in Workington, Cumbris and says she now does her shopping at Asda.
The mum-of-three said: “My kids don’t want for anything.
“At the end of the month there is usually enough for a few treats, but I couldn’t go out and buy a new car tomorrow.
She added: “If I want a holiday, I have to save.”
