Michael Carroll

In 2002, at 19, Michael Carroll won £9.7 million and life was tops, as they say in the U.K. But a year later Carroll's wife Sandra left him and took their baby daughter with her. According to the Daily Mail, Sandra was "angry at [Michael's] life of excess." But Carroll says he was unaffected by his wife's desertion. Eight years later, Carroll has spent his winnings on drugs, gambling and hookers. No money, no wife, no daughter, no prostitutes.
