he was probably given hell. Now that he won, he's being given worse. Of course, she should get half...even though she was against his playing, right?
That's fair, isn't it?
Now lets be straight. She hated the Lottery until she found out he won. She is wrong for asking for, nay, DEMANDING the money now. He tried to hide his winnings from her. He is wrong as well...especially with him buying a house and putting it in his daughter's name (an obvious try to keep it out of his wife's hands if he got caught with that much cash). My take is this. She should get only, and I stress this...only $50,000 plus court costs. Why? Because she was against his playing, and that would be enough to 'balance the books' after his playing for so long. He should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a blunt object for being an idiot. You don't hide things from your spouse. Period. Goes back to that pesky trust issue that married couples are supposed to have.
