Edinburgh lottery winner Jane Park nine years on - from surgery to love and loss (2024)

Jane Park has had a total transformation since she snapped up the Euromillions jackpot nine years ago, at the tender age of 17.

Since becoming the youngest ever EuroMillions winner in 2013, the Edinburgh influencer, 25, has burned through a good chunk of her winnings - buying a new home, various cars, holidays and splashing out on plastic surgery.

Before scooping the £1million jackpot, the then-17-year-old was working as an admin temp for £8 an hour and living with her mum Linda in a two-bedroom flat on an Edinburgh council estate.

So what has Jane spent her millions on?

Physical transformations

With her winnings, Jane has underwent a massive physical transformation, and enjoys showing off her prominent figure in stunning outfits, as she thanks surgeons for their work.

Most recently, Jane has had surgery on her rear end as she posed in a matching, hot pink two-piece set on Instagram, writing: "Surgeon did good" in the caption.

She underwent a second bum lift operation after her original procedure saw her rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis.

Jane flew to the private Trio Clinic in Turkey last year to have the op redone.

In 2017, a botched job at another clinic in Turkey led to a severe infection and she later admitted she feared she was going to die, claiming if she had known the risks she never would have agreed to the procedure.

Jane also spent some of her winnings on a £4,500 boob job, taking her from a 34B to 36FF.

At the time, Jane claimed that the operation was, "up there with the best things I've bought."

Lavish holidays in the sun

Jane hasn't been quiet about her jetting off around the world - and it got her into some hot water at the end of 2021.

The Edinburgh lass ditched the UK at the end of December to soak up some winter sun in the UAE, but was forced to defend herself after being accused of flouting lockdown rules.

After being called “unthoughtful” and “part the problem” by one social media follower, she insisted she wasn't breaking any rules as she had flown out when travel rules were relaxed.

She argued back: “There wasn’t any essential travel you were freely allowed.

"Where as now it’s essential travelling so I won’t need to come back. As the UK nor yourself are essential to me. So off you pop big man.”

Jane has also swapped Edinburgh for spending more time in Liverpool, staying in fancy hotels and posing in front of glitzy restaurants.

Preivously, Jane has showed off photos of her in the Maldives, Lanzarote and the US - but claims she doesn't travel that much.

She said: "I don’t go on holiday that much, about four times a year. I wait until my friends can go.

“And although I’ve been to the Maldives I much prefer Benidorm because nobody is looking down at you. You can get as drunk as you want. In the Maldives, you can’t go and get absolutely hammered."

New career moves

As previously said, Jane was working as an admin temp at an unknown business for £8 an hour - but she is more online than ever now.

Jane has cashed in on her admirers online, and decided to launch an OnlyFans website - that now draws in thousands a month on top of her winnings.

A source said: "It’s completely unexpected. It’s crazy. The £30 a month is for being on her OnlyFans profile.

"People can pay an extra £50 for topless images and she donates the cash to charity. The profile gives her £45,000 a month for holidays, nights out and clothes."

Hitting back at hate over her explicit page, Jane said: “I seem to get whinged at regardless of what I do. When I didn’t work I would have people thinking I didn’t deserve my money.

"Now I do something online and earn money I still get whinged at. I can’t win.”

Love and loss

Romance hasn't always been the easiest part of life for Jane, who has had a string of short-term boyfriends since winning the lottery.

Following the breakdown of an 18-month relationship in 2017, she told the Sunday People: “I’ve had s**t relationships and it’s left me with a massive guard up.

"With the last one, I ­showered him with gifts. I thought it would make him happy.

“I bought him a Rolex, a car, clothes every week. I regret it all.”

Jane has had a few famous relationships - most of which have ended with her being branded a "psycho" by the suitors.

In March 2017, Jane briefly dated X Factor's Sam Callahan after sparking up a 'flirtationship' over social media.

But reports of Sam kissing fellow contestant Soheila Clifford in front of Jane while they were at a house party left her in tears, and it all came to an abrupt end.

The following month, the singer begged Jane to leave him alone, branding her as "obsessive" and wanting to follow him into the Big Brother house.

Sam brutally told The Sun: "If I'm really honest, I wish she would just go away. She needs to pipe down.

"If she actually thought there was something really serious she was wrong.

"We were friends when we met at these events in London and we had a good time but she was wrong if she thought anything was going to happen. We live millions of miles apart, it wasn't going to happen."

And later in the year, Jane began a short relationship with Dundee FC's Jordan Piggott in September.

They were pictured enjoying a date night at a Toby Carvery and sharing a steamy kiss after she met his parents for the first time.

When they sadly split, Jane eventually checked herself in for counselling following their relationship and her "obsessive" behaviour.

She admitted she even considered hiring a private detective to spy on Jordan, stating: “Winning the lottery made me a ‘psycho girlfriend’. The money made it too easy to keep an eye on what boyfriends were doing.”

A paid partner?

After these failed relationships, Jane decided to go down a different route of finding a man - by launching a website where lads could apply to be her boyfriend.

She was offering one lucky suitor an whopping £60,000 a year "allowance" to wine and dine her.

However, she later told Heart Breakfast that she had, perhaps predictably, found many lads were chasing her money.

She said: "It’s so hard when you’re in this position. I’m only 23 now and I still don’t know whether guys are only with me for love or money.

"I’m always questioning people, and I just feel like it would be better like if I feel like they have money, that they wouldn’t be wanting mine."

Not all glitz and glamour

Jane has also hit out at lottery bosses since her decline in the social media sphere, stating that 17 was 'too young' to have that amount of cash.

She said: “At times it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life.

"I wish I had no money most days. I say to myself, ‘My life would be so much easier if I hadn’t won.’

“People look at me and think, ‘I wish I had her lifestyle, I wish I had her money.’ But they don’t realise the extent of my stress.

“I have material things but apart from that my life is empty. What is my purpose in life?”
