"At times it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life. "I thought it would make it ten times better but it's made it ten times worse. I wish I had no money most days. I say to myself, 'My life would be so much easier if I hadn't won.' "People look at me and think, 'I wish I had her lifestyle, I wish I had her money.' But they don't realise the extent of my stress. "I have material things but apart from that my life is empty. What is my purpose in life?"Following the soul searching, buying an £18,000 Range Rover and holidays only four times a year, the teenager now plans to take legal action against the British lottery. A spokesperson for her legal team said:
"An independent financial and legal panel was set up shortly after Jane's win and we put her in touch with another winner, who won at the same age, to share their experience. "We have been in touch with Jane from time to time since her win to offer ongoing support. It is always up to the winners as to whether they want to take up that support. "We will continue to support Jane in any way we can if that is what decides she wants."
