N.C. Powerball winner target of $10M lawsuit by local pastorReply
You would right except that she promised it and he went and put up money on her word to buy the land. AND the minister has a 3 hour recording to the facts that verify everything he says. So for once I actually believe this minister only because he has a 3 hr recording. And that will be held up in court and she will owe it a verbal contract is as good as a written contract especially with the recording she has no recourse.

Dutch court rules woman who won lottery during divorce can keep it allReply
The judge made the correct decision. because this was an easy decision for the judge; she filed for divorce before she won the lottery. A divorce is no different than dissolving any contract and is usually specific on future earnings. Some people believe by suggesting there is a verbal contract between them and lottery winners, they have rights to a portion of the winnings.

Illinois lottery winners file class-action lawsuit against stateReply
I remember a business law teacher saying that putting coins in a soda machine was an implied contract between you and the machine. Once you put the coins in you rightfully expect the machine to deliver the soda. I'm no lawyer but wouldn't the payout schedule on the back of the play slip or the possible prizes on a scratcher be an implied contract, once the ticket is played or the scratcher is purchased?

Your stars finally align and you win, but...Reply
Your wife and I came to the same conclusion, but for different reasons. I really don't understand the logic that it's because if you DON'T give her half then it negates your entire relationship. Sounds like emotional manipulation to me, but what do I know? In my mind it's because the couple in your scenario almost certainly had a verbal contract, and the decent thing to do would be to honor that contract. Not to mention, you could easily be taken to court and end up with the lawyers getting
