[p=12, 2, left][size=3]It is believed to be the UK’s biggest win by a teen.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]Friends of the lucky lad told how he has hardly spent any on himself — but has given huge sums away since he scooped the jackpot.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]One pal said: “He doesn’t need the money, he doesn’t really spend any. He’s a good lad. He’s given a lot to charity.”[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]

[size=3]   [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But pals said there was no chance the level-headed teen would fritter his fortune away like Lotto lout Mike Carroll, who won £9.7million aged 19 in 2002 and blew the lot.[/font][/size][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]
[/size][/font][p=12, 2, left][size=3]The latest teen winner is the son of a businessman, according to reports, but has chosen to stay anonymous.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]Lotto organisers Camelot refused to confirm any details of the winner because he declined publicity.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]It is believed he landed the massive windfall last year during a streak of five Brit winners in a row, including 22-year-old Nottingham couple Matt and Cassey Topham.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]The lad tops the rich list of previous teen winners including waitress Ianthe Fullagar, who scooped £7million aged 18 in 2008.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]Britain’s youngest winner Callie Rogers was 16 and in foster care when she bagged £1.9million in 2003. She blew most of it on drink, drugs and a boob job.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]Carroll frittered his fortune away on drugs and prostitutes. Eight years after hitting the jackpot he was asking to return to his job as a dustman.[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]
[/size][/p][p=12, 2, left][size=3]But sensible Tracey Makin, who won £1million aged 16, invested the cash and now has an office job and modest car.[/size][/p]
