Court rules in favour of the husband
She did not tell him or the court about her winnings and hoped to keep them for herself. Her luck was not as great as she hoped it to be.
However, her plan backfired when a letter from a company that paid lottery winners was mistakenly sent to Thomas's apartment two years after their separation.
Thomas was stunned to learn that his ex-wife had won R34 million in the California State Lottery and received N25 million yearly.
He sued her for violating the state's asset disclosure laws and acting fraudulently and maliciously. The man came out richer, winning his battle against his ex-wife.
A Los Angeles family court judge agreed with Thomas and awarded him all of Denise's lottery money.
The judge said Denise could have kept half of the money if she had been honest initially, but she lost her right to it by concealing it.
