The court has ordered a lady who divorced her husband after winning $1.9 million to give him all of the money.
11 days before she divorced her husband of 25 years, Thomas Rossi, Denise won the lottery.
She kept her earnings to herself during the divorce proceedings by not disclosing them to him or the judge.
When a letter from a company that compensated lottery winners was accidently delivered to Thomas’s apartment two years after their divorce, her plan went awry.
When Thomas learned that his ex-wife had won $1,900,000 in the California State Lottery and had been collecting $32,409.45 annually, he was astounded.
He filed a lawsuit against her for failing to disclose her assets to the state as well as for acting dishonestly and maliciously.
The whole lottery winnings from Denise were given to Thomas after a Los Angeles family court judge sided with him.
The judge stated that if Denise had been honest from the beginning, she would have been able to keep half of the money, but by hiding it, she forfeited her claim to it.
