The 37-year-old's life changed forever when she won the lotto jackpot as a teenager.

Despite her newfound wealth, Callie recklessly spent her cash, including £18,000 on breast surgeries, £300,000 on clothes, and £500,000 on gifts for friends and family.

The former millionaire declared bankruptcy just ten years after winning the mega cash prize.

Callie is now living in a humbled £600-a-month rented semi in Flimby, Cumbria, where she shared a photo of herself and her three-month-old baby, Navie-Nicole.

Posting a photo of her newborn on social media, she wrote, "Counting my blessings every day."

In a separate post on Facebook, Callie added: "The Best Five Weeks Of Life Loving You Our Little Bean,"

The support worker revealed she prefers her life out of the spotlight after gaining fame from winning the seven-figure lottery prize.

The mum-of-five told the : "You obviously get the trolls commenting and they don’t care about the impact they have on people’s lives."

Friends of Callie say her new relationship with Lee marks a fresh chapter for the mum, who previously battled depression after winning the lottery.

Callie had been on just £3.60 an hour when she secured the £1.8million cash prize.

I won the lottery but now I'm back to being poor and living paycheck-to-paycheck - I regret nothing

However, she spent thousands on wild parties, three boob jobs and around £300,000 on designer clothes forcing her to declare bankruptcy.

The now 37-year-old also lent large sums of money to friends and family, whom she now believes took advantage of her newfound wealth.

In 2018, the support worker suffered a serious assault by two women on a night out.

She was knocked unconscious, had her teeth shattered, ribs broken, and suffered permanent damage to her vision.

I just wanted to go back to having a normal life

The 37-year-old admitted that during the attack, she thought she was going to die

Callie received a driving ban in 2021 after she crashed her 4x4 while high on cocaine.

It was revealed in court that she had been claiming Universal Credit despite her previous lottery win.

The former millionaire had once claimed to have spent an eye-watering £250,000 on cocaine but later denied this.

A friend of Callie, from the small seafront village north of Workington, said the mum-of-five seems to have turned a corner, with her dark days firmly "in the past".

The support worker admitted that she was not "equipped" to handle the huge sum at just 16.

"Overnight I went from carefree child to adult," she added.

"Not knowing who liked me for me, and having all the stress of all the money, I just wanted to go back to having a normal life."

The National Lottery has since increased the minimum age for players to 18.

Callie's four other children include her son Blake, who has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk, talk, or swallow without assistance.

In an interview last year the mum-of-five admitted that her biggest regret was no longer having the money for her son Blake.

It comes after a People's Postcode Lottery winner nearly missed on collecting his £110,000 cash prize.

And a national lottery player missed out on a £500,000 jackpot prize after they made a "sad" mistake.

 28.3 grams of MDMA, 2.27g of cocaine and an unlicensed firearm were also seized.
