Wins at the lottery but what girl to be so rich. Yup, Neil Trotterhe said it’s boring to own all that money and lead a life immersed in it luxury. The transition from the status of a worker to that of a rich man who no longer needs to work to support himself has been strange and has brought out the prairies of boredom. Neil was a mechanic and he won 108 million pounds (just under 126 million euros) to the EuroMillions lottery in 2014. What did he do with all this money? He bought a luxurious new house (a villa with a private lake attached), some racing cars and quit his job. Then he found out and admitted that sitting and watching television all day was “pretty boring.”
In short, a man who has won over £ 100 million in the lottery admitted that his new glitzy lifestyle bores him a bit.
Neil is passionate about racing cars, he swapped his Ford Focus for a Jaguar and a Porsche. Read what he told the Sun: “Going from having to work to not having to work anymore was a rather strange thing to adapt to. I soon found out that staying home and watching television all day was pretty boring“. And this is exactly what struck Neil, eight years after that amazing win. The fact of having to get used to not working anymoreno longer have deadlines, alarm clocks in the morning, set times, customers and invoices. Finding yourself having to commit your time without working. That is why, she pointed out, she is now struggling with a lot of free time. And then boredom came.
Neil is from Coulsdon (town located south of London). He always had a feeling he was going to win the lottery. He said it to everyone, friends and family: “Sooner or later I will win, I will win a lot”. His father replied: “Yes, sure, in your dreams, son.” Neil still remembers that Friday he says he had a very strong feeling“So hard that I told the labor secretary that I would win.” Second, disturbing, premonition about his luck: he went to his father’s office, the day before his victory, and said “tomorrow at this time I’ll be a millionaire.” And so it was. “Friday – he said in a hot interview after the victory – I did my last shift“. “I’m taking a rest and enjoying watching the British Touring Car Championships. It’s my passion and I wouldn’t mind having a guest driver seat if I could find the right car!“.
Neil Trotter always had a feeling that he would become a lottery winner, even going so far as to tell all his friends and family that he would one day win big.https://t.co/PWEQeCSSGu
