BRITAIN’s youngest ever lotto winner has welcomed her fifth child, gushing: “I count my blessings every day.”
Callie Rogers – who famously scooped £1.8m in 2003 aged 16, but blew it on drugs and cosmetic surgery – has finally found happiness with a new baby – and a new man.

Now 37, Callie has shared heartwarming photos of her newborn daughter Navie-Nicola on her Facebook page.
Snaps include one the tot at five weeks old in August, captioned: “The Best five Weeks Of Life Loving You Our Little Bean”, and another captioned “Mammys precious girl”.
Pals gushed over the arrival, with one writing: “Awww how beautiful she is, you’ve been blessed with beautiful babies Cal” and another commenting “Cuteness overload!”
The Sun can also reveal that Callie is in a relationship with Lee Matthews, 35.
The pair posted a loved-up selfie on social media in March announcing that they are a couple – prompting well-wishes from pals, with some joking that Lee is “punching above his weight.”
Callie’s baby joy comes after a rollercoaster two decades.
She first made headlines when she became Britain’s youngest ever lotto winner in 2003 soon after turning 16.
Over the next nine years she reportedly splurged the lot on plastic surgery, cocaine and clothes.
She also gave hundreds of thousands to friends and family – some of whom she said she later realised were using her.
The mum has also battled depression and twice attempted suicide.
Callie, who has four other children, later voiced regret at not having saved more of her winnings as they would have helped her support son Blake, 12, who has cerebral palsy.
She has also admitted that she was not “equipped” for winning the huge sum aged 16, saying in a previous interview: “I was buying houses when I didn’t have the first idea about the responsibilities involved.
“I didn’t know how to pay a bill because I’d never had to. I didn’t know what council tax was.”
The National Lottery has since increased the minimum age for players to 18.
In 2018 dog-sitters Marie Hind and Jayde Quayle were jailed after assaulting Callie after a night out.
The lotto winner was left with broken ribs, smashed teeth, concussion and permanent damage to her sight following the horror attack.
And in 2021, after crashing her car while on cocaine, Callie was pepper sprayed and hit with a driving ban.
She refused to provide a breath sample and appeared at Workington Magistrates Court where she was banned from getting behind the wheel for 22 months and given an 11-week curfew.
Friends seem delighted that Callie, of Workington, Cumbria, appears to have found joy at last.
They rushed to congratulate her when she and beau Lee revealed on social media that they are in a relationship, declaring the pair “cute” and “lovely”, and another writing: “Chuffed for you Callie.”
And the photos of Navie-Nicola have clocked up dozens of ‘likes’, with pals labelling a photo of Callie’s older daughter Georgia gazing at her little sister as “adorable”.
