Poor little rich girl.
The youngest person ever to win the lottery in Britain wants to sue the jackpot honchos who made her wealthy because the dough ruined her life, according to a report.
Jane Park, 21 who won $1.25 million playing Euromillions at age 17 says she was too young to cope with the sudden flood of wealth, according to the UK Mirror.
At times it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life. I thought it would make it 10 times better but its made it 10 times worse, she moaned to the paper.
I wish I had no money most days. I say to myself, My life would be so much easier if I hadnt won, she said.
Shes sick of shopping, misses hustling for a paycheck and has struggled to find a boyfriend who isnt using her for the dough, she said.
Before Park won the lottery in 2013, she worked as an administrative assistant for $10 an hour and lived in a modest apartment with her mother in Edinburgh, she said.

She shouldn’t worry. She’ll be broke by the time she’s 25 and then she can go back to work.
The real Jane Park.
Use all that money to start a business. Pursue your passion in a way that helps others too.
Looks like she’s lost a few ‘pounds’...................
My guess is that she ran out of money and wants a second trip to the well.
I’ve seen advice that states if you win one of the big jackpots, wait to cash your ticket until you have already completed a legal name change (you usually have some time frame to redeem the ticket, such as 30 days). Then, under your new name, redeem your ticket. Once you have the money, change your name back.
For someone with the money, just buying a reasonably priced home for cash is one of the best investments going.
Instead of paying $10K to $12K or more every year in rent you put most of that in your pocket.
That makes it like tax free income as compared to making the same amount as taxable income from most investments.
poor girl.. I’ll take her in
donate the money to mom- I don’t need it.
What fella wouldn't want a nice charming gorl like this?
Great experiences. Met a lot of fantastic people, saw things that I'll likely never see again.
But I'm dubious if she travelled the same way. Big difference between 5-star hotels on a 4-star tour, and the Mexican equivalent of "Motel 6" in some Latin backwater.
LOL. Yup
Pick me! Pick me!
LOL

A better place to learn interesting things. 5-Star hotels on a 4-star tour tend to be much alike, I suspect.
um..
it was only 1.25 million.
she has to pay socialist UK TAXES on that... so maybe $500,000 - $800,000 left...
but...
quote “she owns a flashy purple Range Rover, two residential properties and has traveled the globe with the lottery cash, she said, Park has also used her lottery winnings to pay for plastic surgery, designer shoes and extravagant nights clubbing, she said.”
um... dude she wont have to worry about being “rich” much longer...
She isn’t stressed because she won that money.. she is stressed because she has already SPENT it all! and is in debt up to her eyeballs!
1.25 million ... rich .. ROFL!
this skank is about to be bankrupt. She is living like a billionaire.
I was going to type that. You beat me to it.
How many times are you going to post this?
The "Motel 6" was more fun. Hung out evenings with the guys on the job in some local bar. Met interesting people, ate a bunch of questionable food that still tasted delicious, prob best off not knowing what it was. I'm sure that the bartender robbed me blind - I was on an expense account and didn't particularly care. Bought round after round at $1/beer.
Great people there. All the young and pretty girls wanted to talk to me to practice their English. I tolerated it, just barely. :-)
