Eight years after lottery, he’s back to bin man status

LONDON - A Briton, who won 9.7 million pounds in a lottery and blew it all up on drugs, women and wild parties, wants to again start working as a bin man.

Mikey Carroll has again applied for the 200 pounds a week job that he resigned from after winning the lottery eight years ago.

“I don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed. I want to start straight away,” The Sun quoted him as saying.

The 26-year-old spent all his fortune on drugs, women, wild parties, liquor, gambling and expensive cars. He had even boasted about sleeping with up to four sex workers a day at his eight-bedroom home. He was later imprisoned for five months for possessing cocaine.

“I’m not going to have the high life I used to - the drugs, whores, drink and cars, but it don’t matter. I’m happier now,” he said.
