Michael Carroll (lottery winner)
Michael Carroll (born 29 March 1983 in Swaffham, Norfolk) is an English winner of the UK National Lottery. A former binman and Ulster Defence Association supporter, Carroll won £9,736,131 (then US$15.4m) on the National Lottery in November 2002, aged 19. He enjoyed a celebrity status for a time in the British media as a "Lotto lout" and the self-proclaimed "King of Chavs", a phrase that he emblazoned on his black Mercedes van.
==Early life==
Michael Carroll's mother worked in a canning factory and his father was an RAF engineer. When Carroll was 18 months old, his father was jailed in a military prison for 11 years for stabbing a couple after getting into a fight at a dance. His parents separated when he was seven years old; his father died from a heart-attack when Carroll was 10. He had several step-fathers, one of whom would lock him in his room for hours after hitting him. Carroll stated he was dyslexic, had ADHD, and was barely literate by the time he finished secondary school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-420784.html )〕
When Carroll was 13, he received a custodial sentence for shoplifting and was sent to the Hollesley Bay Prison in Suffolk where he reported that he learned to read and write. When Carroll won the Lottery at the age of 19, he was employed part-time as a binman.〔 At the time of his win, Carroll did not have a bank account, and tried opening one at Coutts as recommended by the lottery company. Coutts refused his application, which Carroll later ascribed to his criminal record.〔
Carroll had a bank account set up with St. James's Place Bank (Division of Halifax at the time)
