After Big Lottery Win, 18-Year-Old Still Plans Legal Career
She no longer has any need for the income that a legal career will bring. But 18-year-old Ianthe Fullagar is still planning to pursue a law degree, after a holiday in Egypt.
And, says the United Kingdom teen, the $12.5 million or so (in U.S. dollars) that she just won in the EuroMillions lottery will come in handy when she is ready to pursue her own practice, reports the Scotsman.
“Her wealth will help her foray into the legal profession after her course—she intends to start her own law firm,” the newspaper writes.
She was one of 15 winners who shared a total jackpot of nearly $180 million on Friday, notes the Daily Mail.
“I’ve worked very hard to get where I am and I still plan to go to university,” she tells the Mail. “‘I just plan to live like a normal student and not like a millionaire. I love my beans on toast.”
