l have not read where Sheppard has been paid. It would appear that if his fees are close to $200K, its possible that he discussed this with Browning who told him that his award was $290K- if Sheppard takes the $200K from Browning- that leaves the dude with $90K.* unacceptable. Perhaps that is why Sheppard thinks that he would rather mess with this gal by asking the judge to squeeze the extra $200k from her otherwise no one gets paid. Heck, she owes her own attorney money.l can see a made for tv

l get the distinct impression that Sheppard thinks that she still has the bulk of the winnings from 10 years ago.He needs another cup of coffee. His client has not been paid. He wants to tack on $200K for his attorney fees. Another $150K for interest. I think David Lee Edwards blew through $27 mil in less than 10 years..Sheppard needs guidance.

Appears that Browning and his lawyer have found a way to kill this gal. We will soon probably hear about Poirier having a stroke or heart attack that killed her.

Why does Browning hate her so much. Sure, she left him, mainly by moving out. But Browning was dating or engaged to another women at the time. Plus, it was Poirier's inherited house that she let him continue to live in rent free. Ain't deep appreciation grand? Who needs enemies when one has such caring friends? I feel bad that the b...

If they were married, I could understand that he would be entitled to share the win.

But, as they are not married, I don't think he should getting anything.

The people who are really going to win this jackpot are the lawyers, of both parties.

Looks like the only people who really won the lottery were the attorneys when they were getting paid.

Money changes a lot of people. Even those living together.

In this case of he said - she said, they should have had a written agreement. That way there is no misunderstanding.

Restaurant? They are high risk and fail most of the time. Just look at how ex-pro athletes did with those.

Live in's? You need to protect yourself by talking with a board certified attorney who specializes in these cases before you move in together. Each State is different.

Florida woman who lost $1 million lottery trial files for bankruptcy

Lottery Post — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:37:45 GMT

The former Seminole County school teacher who last month lost a big chunk of a $1 million Florida Lottery jackpot to her former boyfriend, who had sued her for failing to share, has filed for bankruptcy.

Lynn Anne Poirier, 62, of Geneva did not list Howard Browning, her former live-in sweetheart, as a creditor in the bankruptcy case, which she filed Saturday in Orlando.

She listed that case as pending.

But on Feb. 4, a six-member Seminole County jury ordered her to pay Browning $291,00... [ More ]
