Florida man claims ex reneged on $1m lottery promise
A Florida man is still trying to get half of his ex-girlfriend’s $1 million (€910,000) lottery prize, eight years after he says she took the winning ticket and left him. He says she reneged on a promise they’d split any winnings if either hit it big.
The Florida Supreme Court agreed this week that if they were still romantically involved, any spoken agreement made years earlier was still valid. Now a jury will have to decide if a pact was ever made and if the couple was still an item when Lynn Poirier’s lucky number was drawn.
