Man who ‘predicted’ £108m Euromillions lottery win admits new lavish lifestyle ‘bores him’

A mechanic who won over £100m on the lottery after an eerie windfall prediction has admitted that his new lavish lifestyle bores him. Neil Trotter won the Euromillions prize of £107.9m back in 2014 - but was initially warned by the Camelot group not to spend it all straight away.

He did end up splashing the cash on a Grade II-listed mansion, complete with its own lake set in 400 acres of land in a bid to fulfil his childhood dream, the Mirror reports. Before becoming a millionaire, Neil, who is from Coulson, south London, worked as a mechanic and has now traded in his Ford Focus for a Jaguar and a Porsche.

But since his big win, he quit his job, only to find that his new life of luxury and leisure was "quite boring". He said: "Going from having to work to not having to work any more was quite a strange thing to adjust to. I soon found out that sitting at home watching telly all day was quite boring."
