Dispute over lottery millions: couple hits the jackpot - and separates a short time later. A British couple didn't commit it, but their relationship didn't survive the lottery.
Michael Cartlidge and Charlotte Cox are engaged in a bitter battle for one million pounds (the equivalent of around 1.16 million euros) The lottery company gives little hope to the Brit who was supposedly deprived of his share of the million-dollar winnings. Camelot UK Lotteries said in a statement that lottery winners can make legal agreements to share a prize with other people. However, “all disputes between the parties must be resolved between themselves” unless such an agreement exists.
