As a single mother raising her fifth child, Charlie Rogers, the youngest lottery winner in the UK, has split from her ex, engineer Lee Matthews, and started a new relationship.
Callie Rogers, Britain’s youngest ever lottery winner, has split from her former partner and is now in a new relationship.
Rogers scored a massive £1.8million jackpot in 2003 aged 16, while working as a checkout girl for minimum wage, famously becoming the UK’s youngest National Lottery winner.
The teenager hit national headlines at the time and became a local celebrity in Cumbria, where she grew up on a council estate with her foster parents. It comes after a family of 10 ‘barged out’ of pub in brazen dine and dash after £320 meal.
The 38-year-old mother-of-five recently shared cozy photos with her new partner, 35-year-old gas engineer Todd Eilbeck.

In one post, she referred to Todd as her “world” and “best friend”. He also shared a picture of the couple looking happy as they cuddled up together.
Callie had previously been in a relationship with engineer Lee Matthews, and last year it was reported that the pair had welcomed her fifth child.
However, Callie made it clear that she was raising the child alone in a social media update to celebrate Navie-Nicola’s first birthday.
Without giving details about the child’s father, she wrote, “The majority of people would describe the first year as tiring and challenging, but for me, it’s been the most magical, rewarding year of my life.” No evidence that she was speaking about Matthews.
Despite her past financial struggles, Callie still holds the title of the UK’s youngest lottery winner – a record unlikely to be broken since the minimum age to play the National Lottery has since been raised to 18.
After allegedly spending her entire £1.8 million jackpot on plastic surgery, cocaine, clothing, and gift-giving to friends and family, Rogers demanded that the age be increased.
She battled the celebrity and the attacks on her own. In 2019, she told the Mirror, “I still get abuse because of who I am.” People don’t even know me, they say. She lavished hundreds of thousands of dollars on friends and family, giving up almost all of the money. Years later, “fake pals” who had borrowed from her still owed her at least £200, 000.
Camelot continued, “Callie received a lot of support from us, which lasted for many years,” after winning. She declined to listen to the independent financial and legal advice we provided. Our winner’s team, however, stood by her and assisted her in attracting media attention.
