A Briton, who won 9.7 million pounds in a lottery and blew it all up on drugs, women and wild parties, wants to again start working as a bin man.
Mikey Carroll has again applied for the 200 pounds a week job that he resigned from after winning the lottery eight years ago.
"I don't feel embarrassed or ashamed. I want to start straight away," The Sun quoted him as saying.
The 26-year-old spent all his fortune on drugs, women, wild parties, liquor, gambling and expensive cars. He had even boasted about sleeping with up to four sex workers a day at his eight-bedroom home. He was later imprisoned for five months for possessing cocaine.
"I'm not going to have the high life I used to - the drugs, drink and cars, but it doesn't matter. I'm happier now," he said.
So what if he blew up the money? An experience is an experience and nothing can take away the experience he had. He says he has no regrets. This is what is important. So long as he has no regrets and is looking forward to facing life on new (or old?) terms, the man is a winner all through.
