She was the teenager whose dreams came true when her lottery numbers came up before her life nearly came to an end as she spent her winnings. Jane Park celebrates ten years of being a millionaire today, marking a decade since she won big.
It nearly went very wrong when the cosmetic surgery she underwent took a terrifying turn. The aftermath of the Brazilian bum lift she desperately wanted left her fighting for her life.
The youngest-ever EuroMillions winner says she's not spent all the money she won. But she wishes she kept her cash in her pocket after a BBL op went very wrong.
Taking to Instagram, Jane shared a photograph of herself clutching a glass of Irn-Bru in a champagne glass as she was just 17 at the time of her win, and wasn't of the legal age to drink, reports the DailyRecord.
The 27-year-old was living on an Edinburgh council estate at the time of her win, working as an admin temp for £8 an hour when she played her first ever lottery ticket.

Alongside the post, she wrote: "Happy 10 year anniversary to me!! What a ten year it's been. Shout out to Turkey cause I was one ugly b****** here's to the next ten."
Jane ended up £1million richer when she drew the winning numbers in July 2013 at the age of 17, making her the UK's youngest ever Lotto winner. Since then, she's spent a lot of her winnings on surgery in Turkey and has forked out an estimated £50,000 on different procedures.
She's said in the past she's had two Brazilian bum lifts - after the first one "didn't work" and she "nearly died" of sepsis from it. In March she updated her 221,000 followers on Instagram with a series of eye-opening pictures and video clips of before, during and after surgery to give an insight into what took place when she got the uplift and reduction.
She shared footage of the old implants as well as a before and after snap. Admitting that she was "a little bit upset" after waking up, she praised medical staff who went "above and beyond" to look after her. She also shared a picture of her old implant in a container, saying: "Might punt them on OnlyFans for a laugh."
Jane has also undergone liposuction and had a full set of dental veneers, botox, lip enhancements and fillers. Speaking to talk show host Dr Phil, Jane, the UK's youngest EuroMillions winner, said that the overnight fame that came with the life-changing amount of cash was horrible and she "wouldn't wish it on anyone".
Dr Phil then asked Jane if she regrets any of her purchases. She replied: "I don't regret any of the money I spent, my only regret would be going so public with the win."
She added: "When I won it was a very quick turnover, it was massive. At the time it was kind of crazy, and it's even crazier looking back. I splashed out a bit because I never knew the value of a million pounds, I never seen that kind of money.
"I never knew anyone with that kind of money so I kind of splashed a bit on stuff that I've always wanted. Then one of my aunts stepped in like 'you should invest some now buy some property and stop going on holiday'."
Dr Phil then asked her about receiving death threats after winning the money. She said: "It's horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, at 17 you're not even a proper adult, I was such a young, naïve 17-year-old as well."
