Sometimes the lucky ones who grab the bird of luck by the tail do not use the chance for a happy and rich life. And only they themselves are to blame for this. Confirmation of this is the story of Michael Carroll. Read about him in the Rambler material.
Briton Michael Carroll worked as an ordinary garbage collector and dreamed of a beautiful and rich life. Sometimes he participated in lotteries, hoping to win a cash prize. And one day fortune turned to face him: in November 2002, Michael hit the jackpot in the UK National Lottery. Won the lucky one who is just 19 years old, a huge sum of more than 10 million pounds.
Michael Carroll was working as a scavenger when he hit the jackpot in the UK National Lottery in November 2002. At that time, the prize fund was $ 15.4 million. The winner was only 19 years old.
The British media made Carroll a real celebrity: only the lazy did not write about him. Michael himself took his fame calmly, but he quickly and thoughtlessly began to spend millions that had fallen on him from the sky.
Carroll immediately bought himself four mansions in Britain and two villas in Spain, bought two pairs of expensive cars and several ATVs. In addition to the acquisition of luxury real estate and a whole fleet of vehicles, Michael made his old dream come true: he began to arrange noisy parties, the participants of which often behaved, to put it mildly, very indecently.
Having thoughtlessly spent most of his winnings, Michael finally caught himself and decided to try to save and increase the remaining money (about 4 million pounds) by investing it. Unfortunately, the investment was unsuccessful. By 2010, Carroll had gone bankrupt.
Expensive mansions, cars and noisy parties have sunk into oblivion, and Michael has returned to where he started his journey. He first received unemployment benefits, and then took a job again as a garbage collector in Scotland.
