Surely you jest ...
I wish they had of elaborated a bit more on the when of the story. It reads as though he ran out and got scratch offs the day after his wife died. I hope thats not the case. Can't imagine someone thinking of lottery at a time like that.

I was going to title this “Man Wins Lottery Twice In Two Days” but someone might tell my wife.
That's what I was thinking!

Shame on both of you.
That's why I stopped buying lottery tickets until my divorce is final.

So you won't have to share, right? One of those kids huh, that just doesn't like to share, had a few of you on my playground in my day.

After your divorce, and after your substantial lottery win, you will need a girlfriend. May I graciously apply for that position?

Don't want to take a chance on her getting half the winnings?
Shiat, I'd give my ex 1/2 the winnings if I could hit the lottery. 1/2 is better than none!

Nah, I have custody of the kids. I'll share with them.

As long as you don't bring
with you. But you can still live with him when we're not busy.

By that point in the marriage a lot of people are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face. I've seen people quit the Navy, rather than retire, to keep the ex from getting a piece of their retirement.

We're not really that bad. Just joking about the lottery thing. We're being very civil - she's not trying to take my retirement, I let her have her Lexus, I'm not making her pay child support, and we aren't fighting over the kids. No hate and animosity, it's just over and time to move on.

I could see how that would make some fellers feel lucky... ;-p

You need to count your lucky stars 1%'er. Custody of the kids, civil ex, keeping retirement, and no fighting. Sounds like you already HIT THE LOTTERY!!
Probably that the gov't will say that the late wife was alive when he purchased the ticket thus her estate is entitled to half of those earnings thereby making him pay estate taxes on her share.
