Lotto winner falls back to poverty within months

motherwell - A 63-year-old Scottish lotto winner came home from a cold fun fair after he had driven his profit of over 90,000 euros in a few weeks. The man could not get his luck and spent thousands of euros on a cruise and two luxurious holidays to the Spanish city of Benidorm. He left, however, after his luck to report to the benefit instances, so the unemployed man now no more penny receives while his profits as snow in the sun has disappeared.

In addition to the holidays, Daniel Millar also spent the money on clothing and a renovation in his home in no time at all. He also stopped some acquaintances with some money. Millar won the lotto in September, but in November he had already spent everything.

In December an ominous letter from the benefits authorities fell on the mat. 'I had to report. It became a nightmare. According to the tax authorities, I had 90,000 euros in my bank account and I was far too prosperous to receive a benefit, 'says Millar in The Sun. The fact that the 'lucky' lotto winner had already spent the money does not change that according to the authorities. Millar is at his wit's end: 'I have no idea who I should knock on now. '
