Police have launched an investigation into the death of one of Britain's youngest lottery jackpot winners. Stuart Donnelly was found dead at his home in Castle Douglas, in Dumfries and Galloway, on Wednesday morning. The 29-year-old won almost £2m when he hit the lottery jackpot in November 1997 aged 17. He was one of 13 people to share the £25m prize. He famously toasted his win with Coca Cola, because he was too young to drink champagne. The former trainee pharmacist from Neilston in Renfrewshire spent his winnings on a new home for his parents, an executive seat at Celtic Park and a new house at Buittle Bridge, in Castle Douglas.
