EuroMillions' youngest lottery winner Jane Park 'nearly died' after using her winnings to get cosmetic surgery.
The now 27-year-old became the youngest person to ever win the EuroMillions jackpot when she drew the winning numbers in 2013 at the age of 17.
Since then, she's had to navigate living a brand new life and even received endless hateful messages.
She appeared on popular US talk show host Dr Phil and revealed she got sepsis after using the money to get a Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL).
In the episode, titled 'The Curse of the Lottery', Jane, from Edinburgh, talked about the downsides of her £1 million prize.

"I had a procedure done in a different country and when I flew back I ended up with sepsis which is like blood poisoning.
"I nearly died. I was in the hospital for a month... I had to stay there for a while."
The first BBL procedure didn't work, but Jane revealed she underwent the same surgery again, which worked.

On Friday, Jane announced on Instagram she was taking part in an episode of the hit TV show, after spending some time in the US.
She featured alongside experts discussing the odds of lotteries and the reasons why people enter the game.

Jane wrote on Instagram on Sunday: "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."
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.
