Ответ:

Callie Rogers was just sixteen when she won the lottery in 2003. She gave up her job as a shop assistant and started to spend her money. She took her family on expensive holidays, invited all her friends to big parties every weekend and had cosmetic surgery. Ten years later, she had just £2,000 left. But she's happy now. I was too young to win the lottery, she said.

Tom Crist got a big surprise when he answered his phone on 16 December 2013. He was a lottery winner, and the prize was enormous - $$40 million! He decided not to tell anyone about the win. He immediately gave all the money to charities.

'I don't really need that money,' he said. 'My wife died earlier in the year so I chose cancer charities that helped her.'
