Edinburgh Euromillions winner Jane Park still 'living best life' 9 years after hitting jackpot

Edinburgh Euromillions winner Jane Park has shared she is still "living her best life" after scooping the jackpot nine years ago.

Coming out with a winning ticket in 2013, Jane, from Edinburgh, was just 17-years-old when her life completely changed, and she was presented with a staggering £1 million.

The youngest ever winner at the time, Jane, who is now an online influencer, has shared her journey on social media over what has nearly been a decade.

Celebrating the nine-year anniversary of her huge win, the 26-year-old shared a snap of her younger self holding the huge lottery cheque along with a bottle of champagne.

Captioning the image, she said: "Nine years ago today, still living my best life."

Since her big win, Jane has splashed out on a number of things from expensive and lavish holidays, to a selection of cosmetic surgeries including a Brazilian bum lift.

However, despite the huge cash injection, the influencer has frequently spoken out about the downsides of her jackpot win, saying in 2021:

"I thought it was going to be amazing, like, I was going to be this big massive celebrity. I was going to constantly be on red carpets and stuff.

"I was literally sitting in a three-bedroom house alone, like crying myself to sleep."

She added: "You have good days and you have bad days. There's times where I feel lonely and I feel bored and I feel s**t.

"But there's other times where I'm flying to Dubai and I'm doing nice things and I'm very grateful for the life that I live."
