Man Who Won $80 Million Lottery in The Middle of Divorce, Ordered to Give Ex Wife Half of it A Michigan man who won an $80million lottery while he was getting divorced has been told he must give half of his windfall to his estranged wife. Richard Anthony Zelasko, 50, has been told he must give his estranged wife Mary Elizabeth, 48, half of the money he received because an arbitrator handling their divorce deems it marital property. The couple from Pontiac, Michigan, were married between 2004 and September 2011, when Mary Elizabeth filed for divorce. In 2013, while they were negotiating it, Richard won an $80million Mega Millions lottery. After taxes and fees, he walked away with a lump sum of more than $38million. Mary Elizabeth claims in court papers obtained by DailyMail.com that she was the breadwinner, earning between $100,000 and $120,000 throughout their marriage in her job as in advertising sales for Conde Nast while Richard earned $36,000. The couple have three children together. In his decision, arbitrator John Mills argued that while it was his first winning ticket, it was probably not the first ticket Richard bought during their marriage, often using their shared money to get it. 'As losses throughout the marriage were incurred jointly, so should winnings be shared jointly,' he said. 'It’s true that defendant spent $1.00 to purchase the winning lottery ticket, however the dollar spent was arguably marital money and, as such, a joint investment,' he added. He also claimed that since their separation, Richard did not give Mary Elizabeth any financial support for their three children. 1 Share

So long he has got kids with the woman, he should man-up and cede as directed for the benefit of his kids. I don't care about the 'marital finance' twaddle the woman is yapping about. 3 Likes |

I don't believe this poo. 1. The divorce have already been kicked off before he got the money. 2. It's not like he got it through a business that had capital contribution from his wife. 3. It's a f**ken lottery. I don't want to believe that this kind of case is even in contention, because it's legal robbery, but even if it is a baby lawyer can win the case for the man. 1 Like |

I don't think this is a problem if you read the story very well. If the guy has been playing the lottery with joint money, then he should share. The woman must have bore lots of responsibilities too while the dude was playing lottery. |
