And finally… too much, too young

And finally... too much, too young

Britain’s youngest lottery winner, who won the Euromillions at the age of 17, is suing the National Lottery because the £1 million win “ruined” her life.

Jane Park, now 21, says she should never have been allowed to win such a large sum.

She has argued that the age for entering the lottery should be raised from 16 to 18.



Ms Park told the Sunday People: “People look at me and think, ‘I wish I had her lifestyle, I wish I had her money.’ But they don’t realise the extent of my stress. I have material things but apart from that my life is empty. What is my purpose in life?”

She added: “There’s no one in the same boat as me, no one who really understands. I feel like I’m a 40-year-old.”
