Scots Euromillions winner Jane Park living modest life 11 years after scooping jackpot
At just 17 years old Jane Park became a millionaire overnight while she was living with her mum in a council flat. The Edinburgh teenager won a staggering £1m on the lottery and became the UK's youngest winner.
She has since amassed an incredible net worth of £3m, gained a strong following on Instagram and even appeared on popular US show Dr Phil.
But Jane now lives in a modest three-bedroom home and branded herself the 'B&M version of Molly Mae' - now preferring to live a humble lifestyle.
The Hibs fan is often seen jetting off on holiday on social media, but she usually flies with budget airlines like easyJet and Ryanair, rather than opting for the private jets.
While she has visited some luxurious destinations in her time, she was seen sipping Bacardi Breezers at a pal's hen do in Benidorm recently, reported Edinburgh Live.
Although she might not splash the cash on first class flights, Jane has spoken openly about cosmetic procedures she's had since claiming her winnings.
It was reported in 2021 that since her lucky numbers came up, she had spent around £50,000 on surgery including a breast enhancement, a bum lift, liposuction, dental veneers, Botox, lip enhancements and fillers.

But she issued a warning after she had a bum lift done in Turkey back in 2017, which left her fighting for her life due to suspected sepsis following the operation.
On US talk show Dr Phil, Jane admitted the cash has come with a cost and over the years she has been faced with 'stalkers and death threats'.
She added: "You can be anonymous but you are encouraged to go public.
"They prefer that, especially when the case is a bit different. Because I was 17, they thought this was kinda unheard of, you should tell people. I wish I'd never won it, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
"I don't regret any of the money I spent, my only regret would be going so public with the win.
"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."
In September, Jane Park warned women to be aware of a Tinder Swindler after he allegedly targeted her and another influencer. She urged her Instagram followers to "run for your life" from the male, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The 34-year-old Tinder scammer was spared jail over a previous incident which saw him conning a woman out of £2500 by claiming he was linked to Glasgow gangsters.
Jane Park wrote on her Instagram story: "A real life Tinder swindler. Girls run for your life if you encounter him.”
While she may be quick to shoot down haters online, she has previously said that her wealth soon left her feeling “bored” and “miserable”.
Speaking to LadBible, she said: “I remember just thinking ‘I’m so young’ and “Why would anyone put someone this young through these emotions’.
“I remember my nana saying ‘It’s like giving a kid a gun in their hand and not telling them what to do with it’.”
