Probably many people dream of a huge lottery win. Meanwhile, even after crossing the proverbial “six” in the lottery, you can still be surprised. The old proverb says that money doesn’t buy happiness, as the winners of large jackpots have often found out. Among them was Denise Rossi from California. A woman won a fortune, then lost every penny due to one mistake.
She won over PLN 5 million. She didn’t see a penny from them
It often happened that people who won huge amounts of money sooner or later spent it on their whims. Inappropriate decisions, extravagance and the desire to buy everything meant that sooner or later they found themselves at the starting point, and sometimes even in a much worse situation. However, Denise Rossi’s story is unique. Even though in her case there was no trace of the big win of approximately 1.3 million dollars (approx. PLN 5 million), she did not squander her fortune.. So how did she lose him? She had to pay back the money. Moreover, to her ex-husband.
She won a fortune and filed for divorce. She didn’t tell her husband about the money
In December 1996, Denise won $1.3 million. She was married for 25 years at the time. Despite this, she did not inform her partner about her victory. Instead of this, just 11 days later, she served him with a divorce petition. – She wanted me to move out very quickly. It didn’t suit her, admitted the man quoted by “”. The whole situation was surprising to him and he felt confused. It wasn’t until 2 years later that he found out why Denise was in such a hurry to get a divorce. It was then that he received a letter from which he learned about his ex-wife’s huge winnings. He quickly took the case to court.

The judge had no mercy on her. “He gave him everything”
During the hearing, the judge ruled that Denise had violated disclosure and funding laws. Moreover, she committed fraud and malice. The verdict was downright devastating for her, and the woman’s lawyer described it as “very punitive.” Ultimately, the judge ordered that for the next 20 months Denise will have to pay her ex-husband “compensation” in the amount of $66,800 per month, or approximately PLN 265,000. zloty. In total, this was the entire amount she received after winning. Denise’s lawyer also admitted that if she had revealed the winnings to him, they could have “argued” and obtained a slightly more favorable solution. Because she did not do this, there was only one sentence left. – The judge got angry and gave him (ex-husband – editor’s note) everything – he summed up. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
