Dad who won £6m Lottery jackpot and then FLED the UK because friends begged him for cash has been living in modest £200k North London flat

After greedy relatives begging him for cash, a lottery winner from England lives in a modest apartment in North London.

Roger Robar said that his life was a ‘suffocating hell’ after winning £ 6 million in 1996.

The chief of seafood remained under water with letters and eventually gave £ 1.5 million for good reasons.

However, the stress of his reserve ended his marriage, prevented him from having more children and seriously affected his mental health.

Born in Martinik, Roger finally opened his restaurant in London, but he fled to Britain just three years later to France.

Now 29 years after his victory, he returned to the United Kingdom and lived in a small apartment of 200,000 pounds in Enfield until just a few months ago.

Unfortunately, for the chef Roger, the apartment on the ground floor drowned in a fire with the damage of the fire around the front door and windows.

A friend of mine told Mailonline: ‘About two months ago, he lived here until his apartment was set on fire. I don’t know what’s why.

Now 29 years after his win, he returned to England and he lived in a small apartment of 200,000 pounds in Enfield until just a few months ago (in the picture: the block of Roger’s apartments before the fire)

He even bought the restaurant he worked for and reopened it as ‘Roger’s Seafood’ (in the picture: Roger and his former assistant winding bass, celebrated his 50th birthday outside his restaurant)

‘The whole flat is completely black, you can even see it at the front door. Fortunately, nobody hurt and my apartment was not damaged.

“ I have no idea where he’s going or what he’s doing. I did not hear from him. ‘

Another neighbor, on the day of destructive fire ‘All block is full of black smoke’ he said.

In addition to Roger’s coarse brick work around a pile of flat and outside the garbage, the building looks like an average suburban block.

Roger is uncertain where it is now, but it seems to be a very millionaire luxury lifestyle anymore.

According to social media posts, he run a company called ‘Roger’s Catering Service’, where he described himself as ‘master chef’.

In an advertisement in 2023, Roger announced prices for £ 10 for meals including roger, steak and chips.

Post said: ‘A month later, weight, diabetes/blood pressure loses.

‘For the top three recipes, including food and fruit juices, only 10 £ 10.’

Roger’s Facebook page is full of food, including fish casseroles and desserts.

Many of the facebook videos of cooking are played next to relaxing and cooled music.

Apart from Roger’s destroyed apartment and a coarse brick work around a pile of garbage outside, the building itself looks relatively average and humble

Roger began to play the lottery in London, hoping to win as a chef of £ 250 a week, and could have used the money to pay for his daughter’s wedding.

At first, he enjoyed the traps of his newly found reserve, Crouch End jumped to a luxurious £ 400 thousand in North London, 350 thousand £ beauty salon for his new hairdresser Mary and 40 thousand £ Range Rover.

He even bought the restaurant he worked for and reopened it as ‘Roger’s Seafood’.

Good -hearted Roger often helped people in the local community in 1999: ‘If people ask me, I give [money] Them.

But for every person I give, there are hundreds of those who want more than me. And most of them don’t need money: they just want free. ‘

However, he was the family of his wife, who was allegedly pushing his generosity to the borders – just three years after his victory of Mega, led to collapse in his marriage.

At that time, he said: ‘I just didn’t marry Mary – I married her mother, father, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Every day I had to do a check for it. He never stopped and I’m not a bank. I finally told them all to leave me alone.

Mary was never after my money. He never used me or did not spend too much, but other people were in front of our marriage.

His family and his friends have created many problems for us and tried to change me to meet their demands, so we were always fighting. Finally, it was better for us to leave. ‘

Roger’s assistant’s coarse Basram, loved and friends with jealousy ‘extraordinary’ encountered, he said.

In 1998, a year after his victory, he said: ‘From time to time I protect it, because people tend to get crowded around, believing that their chances are contagious.

‘I am also interested in all letters that ask him for money. Initially, he gave a lot of help to the people he felt most needed, including fighting single mothers, but people were ungrateful and just asked for more. ‘

“The extraordinary jealousy that some friends feel can cause them to be really terrible for themselves. But it allows you to try more than ever to give young people and the elderly something.

“ The lottery still uses the private system twice a week and I’m sure he will win again. He encourages me to join me, but I don’t think I want to be a multimillionaire who sees the amount of stress it may cause. ‘

Roger was so stressful that he described life as a ‘suffocating hell’ with his lottery.

He said: ‘I regret day and night. I woke up last week and shouted, “God, I made a terrible mistake, please help me.”

It would be better if I hadn’t won the lottery. I had no idea that my life would emerge like this, so it’s full of stress.

If I had been a choice between ‘win the lottery and being a £ 250 chef per week, I would have chosen to remain a chef. I was much happier.

‘Nobody came to beg me, my life was good, full of smiles and was easy to go. I rented an apartment, traveled on the bus or friends drove me, I worked hard in a job I loved, and then I was relieved. I was one million times more comfortable.

“ It’s too late to change now.

I have to leave England to change. It will only save my life. If I stay in this country, I will die. ‘
