Lotto millionaire returning to old life as a binman

AN ex-dustman who won a £9.7 million (€11.4m) National Lottery prize in Britain nearly eight years ago wants to return to his old job, a friend said.

Michael Carroll, of Downham Market, Norfolk, had spent or given away most of his millions and was applying to a local council for a job as a binman, said the friend.

Carroll, who was unavailable for comment, hit the jackpot in November 2002 at the age of 19 while living in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.
