Stepson seeks share of Lotto win

A dispute between a stepmother and her stepson over a one-sixth share in a €3.38m Lotto win has come before the High Court.

David Walsh has brought proceedings against Mary Walsh, claiming that he is entitled to a share of the prize money of just over €560,000. Ms Walsh rejects the claim, and says he is not entitled to the money.

The ticket was one of two winning tickets for a Lotto jackpot of approximately €6.7m drawn on January 22, 2011.
