LOTTO lout Michael Carroll has said that he does not regret blowing his £10m jackpot on drugs and prostitutes.
Michael was just 19 when he won £9.7m in 2002 . He spent the next decade partying, blowing the windfall on cocaine and prostitutes.

His wife, Sandra Aiken, eventually walked out over his use of call girls. Michael’s decade long party left him penniless but he had no regrets.
Michael said at the time: “I don’t look back with any regrets that’s for sure. It was 10 years of fun for a pound, you can’t go wrong with that.
“I wouldn’t want to turn the clock back. But I live a good, free lifestyle now and I’m happier because I’ve got my life back.”
Mikey used his fortune to travel the world. He binged on booze and cocaine.
At one point he was hooked on crack and drug-fuelled orgies at his notorious Norfolk mansion.
He racked up 30 court appearances after his lotto win, arriving at hearings in a souped-up car, swigging lager and wearing blingy jewellery. He did two stretches in jail and community service.

Mikey became infamous for lobbing Big Macs and nuggets at pedestrians from his motors, including a Mercedes van emblazoned with “King of Chavs”.
He even boasted of bedding 4,000 women.
In 2020 Mikey said: “I used to just walk into an airport and ask to buy a ticket on the next plane that had an empty seat. I’d be away there and then.
“Now I pay a deposit and then settle up every month or so until it’s paid off. It’s what I had to do before I won the lottery. It’s no bother.”
Mikey branded money “the root of all evil”, but added: “If I hadn’t spent it I wouldn’t be where I am today . I’d probably be dead to be honest with you. This is much, much better.”
