Roger Griffiths spent his prize on luxury cars, business deals and reuniting the rock band he was in as a teenager.
At one point, he earned almost $700 in interest every day, but a series of ill-advised deals resulted in his cash disappearing.
The 42-year-old British father of two took to YouTube and told The Sun that his lottery win had been a "poisoned chalice" after it led to the break-up of his marriage and the loss of the family home.
Mr Griffiths had been working in IT when he scooped more than $2.6 million on a UK lottery in 2005.
He and his wife Lara immediately quit their jobs and threw themselves into a jetset lifestyle, buying a new home, sending their kids to posh schools and taking lavish holidays abroad.
Mr Griffiths also paid close to $50,000 to make a record with his old band, FMB, which ended up selling just 600 copies.
One bad investment turned sour during the GFC, leading to the loss of the couple's home and the end of their marriage.
"I had it all, but now it's gone," Mr Griffiths told the Sun. 'I've been borrowing money from my parents - that's how bad it is."
He has now started working again as a freelance recruitment consultant, but spends most of his income on the bills he racked up during his short-live period of wealth.
"The money I bring in goes on bills I racked up during the heyday and there’s just not enough to cover them. If it wasn’t for my family helping me financially I’d be in trouble. Looking back the lottery win was like a poisoned chalice.”

Damn that shyt crazy. I dont even play the lottery, but after hearing that nikka was getting $700 day off of interest , powerball bout to be played.
I was just doing some quick math
-The Current Powerball is estimated at $260 million
-Lump Sum Payment after taxes is $107 million where Im from(DC)
-Lets say you take $27 million just to stunt and fukk around with, and put $80 million in the bank for future investments and let interest add up.
-Based off the interest ole boy was getting for $2.6 mil= $700 interest a day
-Interest based off $80 million at ole boys interest rate would be like $21,490 a day
Damn no wonder the rich stay rich
(Although a 10 percent rate is absurd, what the fukk Bill Gates and Warren Buffet gettin)
What is stopping you from doing that stuff NOW?I'd invest,save, get a masters/phd, and figure out the safest way to turn 2 million to 4.

no need to wait. Get off the couch!

He won $2.6 million, not $26million.
If you wanna stretch $2.6 million over the next 50 years of your life, THEN YA DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB.
"Poisoned chalice?" Too precious. Where did the wife go?

It pisses me off that someone could be this stupid. This is probably the result of having a lot of stupid people in his ear. If I became a millionaire my only thought would be how to remain one. I'd invest,save, get a masters/phd, and figure out the safest way to turn 2 million to 4.
