56-year-old Margaret Loughrey was famous eight years ago after swiping the first prize in EuroMillions. She won the £27million jackpot after purchasing a ticket on her way home from Job Centre and was on £58-a-week benefits. She used the money for good after spending them on a £125,000 bungalow, a pub, and a mill she turned into a leisure center. But life wasn't smoother - if it wasn't worse - after hitting the gold prize.

She said, "If there is a hell, I have been in it. It has been that bad."

2019 Interview

She won the jackpot eight years ago, and in 2019, she said those words during an interview. She was sectioned four months after winning it, claiming that she had people 'stolen millions' off her.

It wasn't the prize she thought she'd love.

Maggie Millions was found dead in her own home this morning, and the police declare that her death was not suspicious.

Police Service of Northern Ireland was alerted in the morning and headed for the scene soon, but Maggie was pronounced dead on the spot. The local councilor, Paul Gallagher, who was also her neighbor, shared they were shocked at her sudden death.

The man commented, "Margaret was well known and did a lot of good, charitable work around the town. People are shocked today."

"I regret winning the lottery, of course, I do.," she added.

Maggie only had £5 million in the end and remarked how useless the fortune was. She added, "I was a happy person before. I am a human being, and all it has done is destroy my life."

The spokesperson for the police revealed, "Police received a report of the sudden death of a woman at the Ballycolman Lane area of Strabane on Thursday, September 2."

The woman who vowed to dedicate the jackpot for good had only lived a life full of misery.

During the interview, she shared, "No point having £27m and being lonely. That can't make me happy; that can only make me happy that everybody else's happy, and so far everybody is absolutely delighted."

Maggie had a few issues with her Herdman's Mill that was turned into a leisure center in Sion Mills. She got into an argument with the local cricket club the next year, and before that, vandalism ravaged the place.

In 2015, she had to fulfill 150 hours of community service after assaulting a taxi driver.

The woman claimed she couldn't remember the incident at all as she was highly intoxicated with vodka. She couldn't find her key and instead of leaving the car when they reached her house, she refused to and broke the driver's glasses.

The driver drove her to the officers and continued to be aggressive all the time.

She also had to pay £30,000 after mocking an employee's religion. These are just some of the series of assaults and troubles Maggie had got herself into throughout those years.

In the end, her interview quote sums up her life, "I have had six years of this. I don't believe in religion, but if there is a hell, I have been in it. It has been that bad."
