Lottery teen splits from boyfriend

The couple posed for pictures after Callie's win

A 16-year-old girl from Cumbria who won £1.9m on the national Lottery has split from her 25-year-old boyfriend.

Callie Rogers, of Cockermouth, said she was upset over reports that he had tried to sell details of their relationship to the media.

The teenager became one of the youngest lottery winners, when she scooped the jackpot in June.

She used numbers chosen on the basis of family birthdays.

The youngster gave up her job at the Co-op in Cockermouth after winning £1,875,000 in order to take her first holiday abroad.

After winning the cash she posed for photographs with 25-year-old Gary Fidler.

Different future

She said: "It's true that Gary and I have split up. It's been very upsetting and it's been made even worse now that I'm hearing rumours that he is trying to sell a story about me. "

Callie, who lives on a council estate with her foster parents, was one of eight winners sharing a £15m prize.

The teenager, who left school in December 2002, said becoming a millionaire will mean a different future.

She said she was going to go travelling for two years, then would like to do GCSEs and become a social worker.

One of the first things she hopes to buy is a new wheelchair for her foster mother, Sheila Holmes, that will enable her to get up and down kerbs more easily.

She also planned to pay for grandmother Joan to visit her sister, whom she has not seen for seven years, in Australia.
