Poor little rich girl.

The youngest person ever to win the lottery in Britain wants to sue the jackpot honchos who made her wealthy because the dough “ruined her life,” according to a report.

Jane Park, 21 — who won $1.25 million playing Euromillions at age 17 — says she was too young to cope with the sudden flood of wealth, according to the UK Mirror.

“At times it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life. I thought it would make it 10 times better but it’s made it 10 times worse,” she moaned to the paper.

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

She’s sick of shopping, misses hustling for a paycheck and has struggled to find a boyfriend who isn’t using her for the dough, she said.

Before Park won the lottery in 2013, she worked as an administrative assistant for $10 an hour and lived in a modest apartment with her mother in Edinburgh, she said.

Now, she owns a flashy purple Range Rover, two residential properties and has traveled the globe with the lottery cash, she said.

But the lavish lifestyle has only made her feel “empty” inside, she said.

“People look at me and think, ‘I wish I had her lifestyle, I wish I had her money.’ But they don’t realize the extent of my stress. I have material things but apart from that my life is empty,” she said.

She pondered, “What is my purpose in life?”

Instead of turning God or a therapy, she’s demanding a lawyer. Park plans to file a lawsuit against UK’s National Lottery, claiming it shouldn’t allowed kids under 18 to play, she told the paper.

“You can’t give a 17-year-old that amount of money,” she said.“I think 18 should be the minimum age for winning the ­lottery, at the least. The current age of 16 is far too young.”

Park has also used her lottery winnings to pay for plastic surgery, designer shoes and extravagant nights clubbing, she said.

“It’s scary how ­different my life is from my friends’. When they say they’re stressed about money they mean their wages are sh-t,” she said.“There’s no one in the same boat as me, no-one who really understands. I feel like I’m a 40-year-old.”

A spokesman for the British lottery firm, Camelot, said the company gave Park financial advice and hooked her up with other young lottery winners for support.

The minimum legal age for lottery players should be up to the government, the spokesman said.

The solution is simple. Give the money away if you don't like it. Done.

I've heard that winning the lottery has ruined a lot of lives. I don't think it's an age thing. But to sue the jackpot honchos? Did they make her play? geeez.

If you're tired of shopping, stop shopping. If you want to chase a meager paycheck, get a job.

Yea, give it away or put it in the bank and let it sit. Seriously. People really do come up with anything to complain about.

I will give her a little pass because she is so young. I do think before they can pick up their check they should receive some sort of financial counseling.

She didn't win so much to destroy her life. She needs to buy a house she can afford to maintain without dipping into the rest, put the rest away for retirement, and get a job!

She needs to realize that it isn't actually that much money.

I think she must be running low on funds and is now suing to get more money.

I'll be happy to relieve her of her burden. It must be horrible having 7 figures in your bank account. The poor, poor girl. So, I will take on the burden for her. She won't have to worry about it ever again.

 so if she sues the jackpot honchos, and wins more money if she wins her suit, who will she blame then?  because she'll have even more money, and apparently be even more miserable...

Yes, suing for more money to further ruin her life? Or does she just want an apology from the Lottery people? (Oh, yeah...)

If you don't want to win the lottery, don't play the lottery. Even a 17 year old should be able to process that thought.

I'm curious about her idea that the age limit should be raised to 18. If she would have won as an 18 year old, does she think that she would have done anything different? Is the thinking of an 18 year old that much different than the thinking of a 17 year old?

I agree with others that think she may be broke and is in it for the money. Otherwise why sue? If she wins she gets more of that evil money.

Lol! I read this!

Of course a lawsuit involves money and a million dollars is not much. Buying two houses would exhaust that. Maybe she is running out and needs more?
