Man sues stepmum over Lotto win

A man suing his stepmother for a €560,000 share of a €3.38m Lotto win has denied he was given a choice between a house or €200,000 from the win.

David Walsh told the High Court he went to the home of his father Peter and stepmother Mary Walsh at Knocknagreena, Ballinasloe, Co Galway, on January 23, 2011 where his father asked him to sign the back of a winning Lotto ticket.

His father had told him to bring champagne and “told me I’d have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life”, he said.
