Man Wins Lottery, Leaves Wife
By LILY FU
(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A woman has been evicted from her home after her husband won the lottery and left her.
Donna Campbell is getting help from a moving company who offered to help move her out of the home she once shared with her husband after the house went into foreclosure and was auctioned, according to the Orlando Sun-Sentinel . Campbell never held title on the house with her husband, Arnim Ramdass.
Campbell's woes began in June 2007 when Ramdass bought a winning lottery ticket for a $19 million jackpot with his co-workers. They shared a lump sum of $10.2 million and received $450,000 after taxes.
Campbell said she noticed Ramdass immediately cut cable, phone and Internet at their home. She eventually found out he was hiding his lottery winnings and asked for her share of the money, but he refused. Campbell went to court to fight Ramdass, but lost since she didn't have any right to Ramdass' winnings.
"I thought winning the lotto was supposed to bring together a family, a husband and his wife," Campbell told the Miami Herald . "But all I got was deception and lies."
Campbell, a former runner-up in the 1979 Miss Trinidad and Tobago beauty pageant, said police and private investigators haven't been able to locate Ramdass, but she believes he's still in the area.
"We have a man who certainly has the means, being a lottery winner, to take himself into seclusion. If that's what he has chosen to do, no law says can't do that," police said.
