A EuroMillions winner who scooped £1m when she was a teenager says she wishes she'd never won the lottery.
Jane Park, now 27, became the youngest person to win the EuroMillions jackpot when she drew the winning numbers in 2013 at the age of 17. Now Jane, from Edinburgh, has talked about the downsides of winning the prize.
In an episode titled 'The Curse of the Lottery', she told US talk show host Dr Phil she wouldn't wish her win "on anyone". She was featured alongside experts discussing the odds of lotteries and the reasons why people enter the game, reports Edinburgh Live.

During the show, psychologist Dr Phil McGraw mentions the abuse Jane has received. He said: "You had stalkers, death threats..." She replied: "I wish I'd never won it, I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
Before her jackpot win, Jane worked as an office assistant and lived in a council flat with her mum. The winning ticket was the first lottery ticket she'd ever bought.
Jane has publicly spoken about her lottery win on a number of occasions, including on This Morning and Loose Women, as well as appearing in a BBC documentary called Teenage Millionaire: The Year I Won The Lottery.
Before the episode with Dr Phil was aired on Monday night, Jane said on Instagram: "Tomorrow CBS 4pm America, 9pm UK. I know CBS is on fire sticks so that's probably your best bet to watch it, if not the episode will eventually be on YouTube. Aaah could scream."
