I thought it pertinent to mention this story, given that tonight’s MegaMillions lottery is sitting at $111,000,000 (R1.1 Billion jackpot)

Woman Demands Lotto Winnings From Man She Separated From In 1982
Seems like a cool chick
POLK COUNTY, Fla. — A Polk County man won nearly $2 million in the lottery, but Tuesday he was in a court battle over the cash with his estranged wife.
William and Ida Cody have been separated since 1982, but Ida insists they were always on good terms and she even loaned him the money to buy the winning ticket. She said he promised to share the winnings with her.
“You didn’t say you would be willing to split the jackpot?” William Cody was asked in court.
“No, I didn’t say that to Ida, to nobody,” he responded.
Attorneys hope to wrap up testimony sometime late Tuesday afternoon. Ida wants half the money, but she could be awarded a lesser amount or nothing at all.

I love the angle this chick is going for – straightforward lying. Her word against his. And, not only did she say that he promised half the winnings would go to her, but she goes even further and claims that she gave him the money to buy the ticket.
It’s beautiful.
Neither of them have proof.
It’s like when Mrs. Solomon came into Maths class and we all stood to greet her. Kitso was chewing gum and Mrs. Solomon told him to go and see the headmaster.
“Why, Ma’am?”
“Because you’re chewing gum in my class,” she screamed.
Kitso swallowed the gum (blatantly), looked at her and said, “prove it..”
Incredible vibe..
