Timeline

1983

Michael Carroll (born 29 March 1983 in Swaffham, Norfolk) is an Englishman who won the UK National Lottery in 2002.

1997

It was noted in court while being sentenced that, since 1997, Carroll had 42 previous offences on record.

2002

A former refuse collector, Carroll won £9,736,131 on the National Lottery in November 2002, aged 19.

He enjoyed celebrity status for a time in the British tabloid media as the "Lotto lout" and the self-proclaimed "King of Chavs".

Carroll's mother worked in a canning factory and his father was a Royal Air Force engineer.

When Carroll was 18 months old, his father was jailed in a military prison for 11 years for stabbing a couple after getting into a fight at a dance.

His parents separated when he was seven years old; his father died from a heart attack when Carroll was ten.

He had several stepfathers, one of whom would lock him in his room for hours after hitting him.

Carroll stated he was dyslexic, had ADHD, and was barely literate by the time he finished secondary school.

When Carroll was 13, he received a custodial sentence for shoplifting and was sent to the Hollesley Bay Prison in Suffolk where he reports that he learned to read and write.

When Carroll won the Lotto at the age of 19, he was employed part-time as a refuse collector.

At the time of his big win, Carroll did not have a bank account, and tried opening one at Coutts as recommended by Camelot.

Coutts refused his application, which Carroll later ascribed to his extensive criminal record.

Soon after winning the jackpot, Carroll stated he would not be tempted into spending his money lavishly and only wanted to buy a three-bedroom house near a lake, where he could go fishing.

As a fan of Rangers, Carroll invested up to £1,000,000 of his winnings via Rangers Financial Management, from whom the football club receive a share of profits on the financial services they sell.

Another investment Carroll made with advice was to set up a £3.9 million investment bond, which generated monthly income.

He was advised to use this account only if funds from a regular account were gone.

Once withdrawals are made from the bond, however, huge penalty fees were deducted; plus the amount of the withdrawal.

2003

Carroll, who was very generous to family and friends, gave his mother, aunt and a sister £1,000,000 each, and claimed by September 2003, he had to start living off the proceeds of the bond.

2005

In 2005, Carroll participated in a celebrity boxing match in which he fought Mark Smith, formerly a cast member of TV show Gladiators, but the fight was officially declared a draw by the judges.

In June 2005, Carroll was given an ASBO after it was found that whilst drunk, he had been catapulting steel balls from his Mercedes van, which resulted in breaking 32 car and shop windows, in Downham Market, where he was living.

He was sentenced to 240 hours of community service and a warning that he could face a custodial sentence if he did not adhere to the ASBO.

2006

In February 2006, he was jailed for nine months for affray.

In 2006, the BBC reported that Carroll was almost broke, having spent his fortune on new homes, drugs, parties, jewellery and cars.

Carroll subsequently denied rumours that he had no money left.

While living at his mansion in Swaffham, five of his Rottweilers were found dead with their throats cut.

He paid a £130,000 ransom fee to blackmailers who threatened his family.

He said the men came with shotguns and said "You aren't so big now are you, Mr. Carroll?".

He left his car and he never returned to Swaffham, he claimed.

He ended up returning to Downham Market.

His autobiography, ghost-written by Sean Boru, entitled Careful What You Wish For was published by John Blake Publishing in October 2006.

2010

In May 2010, Carroll returned to his old job as a refuse collector, but said he had no regrets about the way in which he had spent his winnings.
