YOLO – You Only Lottery Once
16-year-old Callie Rogers was shaken to the core when she won $2.67 million in a scratch-off in 2003 – an obscene amount of money for a teenager. But Callie was determined to invest her cash-only in sensible avenues, which is why she spent all her winnings on cosmetic surgery, drugs, and partying. But she soon spiraled into depression once she had nothing left to spend, and all her new-found friends left her too. Any guesses why?

These days, Callie is all for raising the minimum age for the National Lottery. Speaking to the UK Daily Mail, she said, “At 16, you’re still just a child, and you don’t have any understanding of money and the concept of what it brings.” Well, Callie, just because you needed a bad experience to have some sense knocked into your head, doesn’t mean everyone else does too.
