I won £21million lottery jackpot & immediately quit my job – I splashed the cash on a VERY lucrative hobby

A MAN scooped a £21million lottery jackpot, immediately retired and splashed the cash on a lucrative hobby only some can dream of doing. Cliff Little, from north Queensland, fulfilled his dream of owning a racehorse and it might even be his ticket to winning further millions.

I’m getting more than my money back,'” he told 9News. “They rang up and I said ‘who the hell are you?’ He was from lotto and I said ‘yeah, right. He confirmed it and I said; “oh, I can’t go back to sleep.” The former disability worker resigned from his job the next day and quickly starting to dosh out his winnings. He bought homes for his children and then splashed his cash on a dream sports car – a red Toyota Supra. Next, the lottery winner set his eyes – and money – on horse racing. He now owns several winning thoroughbreds, but his pride and joy is Cifrado. The favourite horse allegedly cost him £172k, but it’s paid for itself twice over already. The two-year-old colt has reportedly brought home the staggering sum of £483k. Cifrado is set to compete in the prestigious $1million JJ Atkins Plate at Eagle Farm soon, and has a good chance of a first place finish, which would secure his owner £536k. Cliff has admitted that winning the lottery doesn’t come close to the feeling of winning a horse race. “People might scoff at this, but the money is great – but it’s only of secondary importance when you see the cups,” he told 9News. “Lotto’s a game of chance, winning a group one with the trainer training a horse, getting a jockey primed, that’s the excitement.” The lucky man is so passionate about the sport he’s even been investing in local jockeys. He donated £10,700 to Cairns Turf Club and Cairns Jockey Club, News.com.au reported. “I hope it can create more interest in racing because extra prize money brings good horses and also is an added attraction for racegoers,” Little said. “Anything we can do to promote local racing is good.” Elsewhere, the story of a Euromilions lottery winner who scooped £6.5million ended up becoming a tragedy. British Ryan Magee ended up splitting from his wife, crashing his ferrarri and selling home. Meanwhile, a woman has told of how her husband laughed at her for playing the postcode lottery, telling her it was a waste of money. Rachel Fearns proved him wrong when the full-time mum-of-four scooped a staggering £756k only six months later.
