I won £10m on the lottery but my five kids won’t get any money from me – they’ll have to work for what they get | The Sun
A MAN who won £10 million on the lottery revealed he spent all his money without leaving any to his five kids – as they will have to "work for what they get".
Mickey Carroll, 40, became known as the "Lotto Lout" when he hit the jackpot, age 19, and started splashing his cash on wild cocaine parties and hookers.
The self-proclaimed King of Chavs was left penniless after 10 years of living the high life and now works in a quarry in Elgin, Scotland, where he lives in a one-bedroom council flat.
But in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Mickey insisted he had no regrets about spending all his money – and doesn't even wish he'd saved any for his two daughters and three stepdaughters, aged seven to 20 – because he believes they should work for their living.
"I don't regret or wish anything," he said.
"If you live like that you're always thinking 'Why did I do that, why did I do this' and I don't want to live like that.

"No, I don't wish I put some money away for the kids.

"I was at Walker's biscuit factory for seven months and when I left there I was at the slaughterhouse for six years until they closed. I rose to the top there and loved it.
"I was delivering coal for two years and I've been at the quarry for three years.
"I'm a yard foreman so I'm operating heavy machinery and stuff.
"My kids aren't mad with me for spending the money.
"One of them joked with me and said, 'I know where you spent all the money – cocaine and hookers' and I couldn't believe it. I said 'How do you know that?!' and she said 'Duh, the internet'."
Mickey, who once bragged he's slept with 4,000 women, was a bin man before he scooped £9,736,131 on the lottery in November 2002.
But he was left penniless, homeless and declared himself bankrupt in 2013 after years of holding drug-fueled "Roman-style orgies" at his mansion in Swaffham, Norfolk, with naked women holding trays of cocaine – costing as much as £50,000 a pop.
He also blew money on £100,000 gold chains, holidays and terrorised neighbours with his anti-social behaviour.
Mickey has served three prison sentences and appeared in court over 30 times for offences such as dangerous driving and affray.
However he claims he is now a "law-abiding citizen", has not been arrested since 2010 and would not go back to his wild ways.
"I haven't been arrested in 12 years," he said.
"Since I've been in Scotland I haven't been in trouble with the police. I've been a law-abiding citizen believe it or not.
