A EUROMILLIONS winner who was just 17 when she scooped the jackpot says she still hasn’t spent all of her winnings – but she does have one regret.
Jane Park, now 27, from Edinburgh found herself £1million richer, when her numbers came up on the Euromillions draw back in July 2013.

At just 17 Jane admits that she did “splurge” her winnings because she “never knew the value of a million pounds”.
And although she doesn’t have any regrets about splashing the cash, she does have one regret and opened up about it when speaking to Dr Phil on his US chatshow.
The Mirror reports, Jane said: “I don’t regret any of the money that I’ve spent.
“My only regret would be going so public.”
She added: “I have not even spent all of the money and they seem to think they know more about my life.
“It’s hard because when I was younger I read the comments and it affected me and these people have never met me and they’ve probably never even seen me.”

Jane appeared on the show titled ‘The Curse of the Lottery’ alongside experts discussing the odds of winning and the reason why people enter the game.
She shared her very mixed experience of winning such a large sum of money at such a young age.
Jane spent some of her winnings on a new home, multiple cars, designer bags and holidays, she even treated one of her boyfriends to a new Rolex.
And in 2021 it was reported that the 27-year-old had spent a whopping £50,000 on cosmetic procedures, something that she is very open about.
As well as a boob job Jane has had liposuction, a full set of veneers, botox, lip enhancements and two Brazilian bum lifts.
She said: “I splashed out a bit because I never knew the value of a million pounds.
“I had never seen that kind of money and I never knew anyone with that kind of money.
“I kinda splashed a bit on stuff that I always wanted and then one of my aunts stepped in and was like ‘you should invest some now in property and stop going on holiday’.”
Jane has described winning the lottery as a “dark, twisted fairy-tale”.
She said: “I think there is, like it’s a very dark, twisted fairy tale and I think no one actually warns you of it – especially younger people, I was 17.”
The Scot is now carving out a new life in the US as she gears up for a dating show.
