A man who won an eye-watering £10 million on the lottery says his children "won't get a penny" after he splashed all the cash on cocaine and hookers.
Mickey Carroll, commonly known as the "Lotto Lout" after he hit the jackpot aged 19, said he will teach his young ones to work for what they get - just like he did.
In an interview with The Sun, Carroll said he has no regrets about spending all his money.
After years of living the high life, the Scottish winner now works in a quarry in Elgin and lives in a one-bedroom council flat.
But even still, he said: "I don't regret or wish anything.
"If you live like that you're always thinking 'Why did I do that, why did I do this' and I don't want to live like that.
"No, I don't wish I put some money away for the kids.
"My kids will have to work for what they get.
"I worked all my life before I won and work hard now. Even when I was at school I used to bunk off and I'd be on the strawberry field with my mum and nan.
"Any one of my bosses will tell you how hard I graft.
"I was at Walker's biscuit factory for seven months and when I left there I was at the slaughterhouse for six years until they closed. I rose to the top there and loved it.
"I was delivering coal for two years and I've been at the quarry for three years.
"I'm a yard foreman so I'm operating heavy machinery and stuff.
"My kids aren't mad with me for spending the money.
"One of them joked with me and said, 'I know where you spent all the money - cocaine and hookers' and I couldn't believe it. I said 'How do you know that?!' and she said 'Duh, the internet'."
Mickey, who once bragged he's slept with 4,000 women, was a bin man before he scooped £9,736,131 on the lottery in November 2002.
But he was left penniless, homeless and declared himself bankrupt in 2013 after years of holding drug-fueled "Roman-style orgies" at his mansion in Swaffham, Norfolk, with naked women holding trays of cocaine - costing as much as £50,000 a pop.
He also blew money on £100,000 gold chains, holidays and terrorised neighbours with his anti-social behaviour.
