How did John Roberts lose his Lottery fortune?
John Roberts, from Edinburgh, won a massive £3.1million back in 1998.
But just three years later the security guard was penniless after blowing his money on cars, houses and luxury holidays.
One of his first big buys was a massive Tudor mansion in Blackpool, which he moved his wife, Linda, and five children into.
The five-bedroom detached home was worth around £160,000 when he bought it – and was a far cry from their council flat in Pilton, Edinburgh.
The seaside house was called Balmoral, after the couple’s favourite Scottish beauty spot.
In 2001, John moved out of the home and moved in with his cousin. At that time, it was worth £250,000
John is now rumoured to be living on handouts from friends and family after his marriage fell apart, and was said to be living in a caravan at one time.

Lee Ryan: From luxury splurges to homelessness
Ex-jailbird Lee Ryan scooped the £6.5million jackpot just 17 weeks after the lottery was launched on November 14 1994. He made headlines when it emerged he was accused of handling stolen cars and was imprisoned for 18 months after his huge payout.
Lee then spent a decade living the high life and splashed his car on luxury cars, a helicopter and a £2million mansion.
But Lee ended up penniless, spent two years living on the street and shacked up in a tiny flat in London he shared with homeless pals.
“The money was cursed because I took the p**s out of God when I asked him to make me a multimillionaire. My cellmate warned me to be careful what I wished for,” he said.
Lee ended up splitting with Karen Taylor, his girlfriend of eight years, and moved to London where he met a 25-year-old from Kyrgyzstan.
They took an ill-fated trip to the Central Asian country where Lee attempted to invest the last of his winnings in property.

No more Lotto funding for star athlete
CJ UJAH has been stripped of domestic athletics funding following his Olympics drugs violation.
The sprinter is suspended from the sport after testing positive for banned substances at the Tokyo Games in August.
The case has gone to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the GB team that won 4x100m relay silver behind Italy could be stripped of their medals.
That would mean heartache for Ujah’s Tokyo team-mates Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.
Londoner Ujah, 27, was on Olympic Relays funding – between £21,000 and £28,000 – over the past 12 months.
He insists he is not a cheat and denies any wrongdoing.

I won £1m after lover said he ‘wasn’t gullible enough’ to play
A MUM whose partner told her he wasn’t “gullible enough” to play the lottery has won £1m on the EuroMillions.
Holly Saul scooped the prize in the UK draw after her father-in-law reminded her to purchase a ticket.
The 29-year-old, from Cambridge, recalled bursting into tears of joy when she was told she had won.
The news followed just hours after her partner of eight years, Ben Lowther, 38, had said earlier: “I’m not gullible enough to play the lottery.”
Holly, who has two children, said: “We were both so shocked that I decided the only sensible option was to pour myself a G&T and Ben a Guinness.
“Then we sat in the garden for an hour staring into space, looking at each other and giggling like children. It was the most surreal and most wonderful time.
“What’s even better, I’ll forever tease Ben about his cheeky comment.”

Rolling in it
For many, winning the jackpot means mass celebrations and ultra-expensive cars – but not for Susan Hardman.
When the mum-of-one’s numbers came up in January 2010 she worked as a hairdresser in Eardisley, Hereford, and was “struggling financially”.
Instead of splashing out when the £1.2million win landed in her bank account, she traded in her scissors for overalls and became a pig farmer.
Susan claimed to be happier than ever knee-deep in mud and said bringing a piglet into the world brought her “more satisfaction” than winning the lottery.
