Man wins $273 million in Mega Millions Jackpot after his wife filed for divorce

August 26, 2025 1:52am CST
In 2019, a New Jersey man hot $273 million jackpot a few months after his divorce from his wife. If you are in this situation what will you do? Will you reconcile with your ex partner or let it go? I bet the latter will be a more difficult option.

If we were divorced then if I won the money would be mine ….if he won it would be his …..no sharing if it was won after a divorce.

I believe the divorce has already been settled, so it's time for everyone to move on with their lives. Why hold on to something that doesn't want you? Embrace your newfound wealth and start fresh. As for the wife, perhaps it’s a sign that it wasn’t meant to be, so focus on building a new life, whether it's with someone else or on your own.

Yea, I bet the divorce was settled long before he won the lottery.

I let it go. He's no longer my husband, so why would I reconcile when I previously filed for divorce?

Hahahaha, I think it will take a person to eat their pride before they can go back to their ex.

If she is divorced she will get no money. She might be better off with out him.
