A man who dreamed he would win the lottery has been left disappointed after winning the £100million EuroMillions jackpot and says his life bores him.
After winning £107.9million in in 2014, Neil Trotter is now bored of his lavish lifestyle and says nothing is entertaining anymore.
He was advised by the Camelot Group to do nothing with his winnings straight away, but he decided to ignore this.

Neil then splashed the cash on a Grade II-listed mansion boasting 400 acres of land, complete with its own lake.
He then traded his Ford Focus for a Jaguar and a Porsche and quit his job as a mechanic.
Since his big win, however, Neil says his life of luxury and leisure is actually “quite boring,” reports the Mirror.
He said: "Going from having to work to not having to work any more was quite a strange thing to adjust to. I soon found out that sitting at home watching telly all day was quite boring.”
Neil always had an inkling that he would become a lottery winner, even going as far to tell all his friends and family that he would one day win big.
Speaking back in 2019, he said: “Being a Trotter, I knew I’d be a millionaire one day – and I somehow knew I’d win the Lottery.
“I used to tell my dad I’d have a house with a lake, and he’d say, ‘In your dreams, son!”
"I had such a strong feeling on the Friday that I’d win, I told the secretary at work.
“Winning allowed me to go back to my first love – racing. And I‘ve the house with a lake.”
Neil even had an eerie premonition about his fortunes, which led him to tell staff at his dad’s office on the day of his win that “this time tomorrow" he’d be a millionaire.
It was only a few hours later that his EuroMillions Lucky Dip ticked banked him £107,932,603.20, making him the fourth biggest lottery winner in the country at the time.
Joe Thwaite, 49, and wife Jess, 44, were most recently the winners of the biggest EuroMillions jackpot, after their ticket bagged them a total of £184,262,899.10 in May this year. Two months later, an anonymous winner came forward to claim a jackpot of £195m.
