Win The Lottery–Leave Your Lover

Tweet

I heard on the radio this morning that twenty percent of people said if they won the lottery they would leave their significant other (husband, boyfriend, wife, girlfriend). This means twenty percent of people in relationships are unhappy but feel they do not have the means to leave. Or are staying with their significant other because of the money he or she has. For someone who is married winning the lottery may not give them as much money as they think. What I mean here is in most states a spouse is entitled to as much as half the money. A few years ago a woman in Idaho, who was separated from her jailbird husband, won a lottery worth millions. Even though they were separated and he was in prison he sued for half the money. Since they were still married he was entitled to at least part of the money. Just because he was a no-good, rotten scumbucket who was in prison didn’t mean he wasn’t entitled to part of her winnings. And it didn’t matter that she had planned to divorce him before she won the lottery because she was still married to him. The moral here is if you are planning to divorce your spouse you had better do it before you play the lottery because if you win that lousy spouse of yours will most likely be entitled to a percentage of your winnings.
