Suit For Half Of Lotto Winnings Tossed
A Florida judge has ruled against a man who sued his ex-girlfriend for half of the $1 million jackpot she won from the Florida Lottery. Circuit Judge Alan Dickey ruled that Howard Browning’s case was legally insufficient Tuesday after 11 1/2 hours of testimony in the lawsuit against Lynn Anne Poirier. Browning alleged he and Poirier, who lived together for 16 years, had agreed to split any lottery winnings either of them won. He said he gave Poirier the money to buy the ticket in 2007. However, Poirier said she had never entered any such agreement with Browning and she had paid for the ticket herself. She said she had been trying to get Browning to leave her home for some time and eventually had to have him evicted.
