Rogers told the Daily Mail that her ex-boyfriend Nicky Lawson got her hooked on cocaine and that she spent 250,000 pounds (about $406,000) on the habit.

"I was spending a fortune on cocaine, a nasty evil drug that tears your life apart," Rogers was quoted as saying. "I'll be honest. about a quarter of a million pounds of my win has been wasted on it."
