A EUROMILLIONS winner has told how he finds his new lifestyle of mansions and supercars boring.
Neil Trotter, a mechanic from Coulsdon, scooped a whopping £107.9m back in 2014 after telling all his friends and family that he would win big.
The race-car fan traded in his Ford Focus for a Jaguar and a Porsche when he won his fortune.
And he bought a Grade II-listed mansion with its own lake set in 400 acres of land.
But Neil now says his life of luxury and leisure is “quite boring”.
He said: "Going from having to work to not having to work any more was quite a strange thing to adjust to. I soon found out that sitting at home watching telly all day was quite boring.”
Neil added that the Camelot group which runs the lottery warned him not to do anything with his winnings straight away.
But he still says that he is living his dream of winning the lottery and driving fast cars.
Speaking back in 2019 he said: “Being a Trotter, I knew I’d be a millionaire one day – and I somehow knew I’d win the Lottery.”
“I used to tell my dad I’d have a house with a lake, and he’d say, ‘In your dreams, son!’
"I had such a strong feeling on the Friday that I’d win, I told the secretary at work.
“Winning allowed me to go back to my first love – racing. And I‘ve the house with a lake.”
In an eerie premonition, he had told staff at his dad’s office on the day of his win that “this time tomorrow" he’d be a millionaire.
Just hours later he saw his EuroMillions Lucky Dip bank him an incredible £107,932,603.20 and make him the fourth biggest lottery winner in the country at the time.
It comes as a £113m jackpot went up for grabs in yesterday’s EuroMillions contest.
Ticketholders have been urged to check their numbers to see if they have bagged this week's eye-watering jackpot.
The winning EuroMillions numbers are 07, 24, 34, 39, 46. The winning EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers are: 01, 06.
The lucky winner will become even richer than Take That legend Gary Barlow, dwarfing the singer’s £90m fortune.
