I think I have won the Lotto, woman told husband

A woman being sued over a one-sixth share of a €3.38m Lotto win by her stepson has told the High Court the winning ticket was hers and did not belong to a syndicate.

Mary Walsh told the court she was the sole winner of the lottery prize and the first she heard about her stepson David Walsh claiming a €560,000 share of the €3.38m Lotto win of January 22, 2011, was in a solicitors letter sent on her stepson’s behalf in mid-2013.

Giving evidence before Mr Justice Richard Humphreys on what was the fifth day of the action Mrs Walsh said she had played the Lotto regularly.
