Lottery Stories – $3 Million Win Turns Lovers Into Enemies
Lottery Stories
Lottery stories can often make outsiders feel warm, others definitely don’t. A year ago, Ms. Kneen and Mr. Crockford of Canberra, Australia were happy in love; just another couple in their mid-twenties, strolling through the park, holding hands and whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears.
Today, the Federal Magistrates Court concluded a vicious yearlong battle over the ownership of a $3 million dollar lottery ticket that Ms. Kneen purchased along with Mr. Crockford.
In reality, there were no strolls in the local park for Ms. Kneen, unless it was to visit her heroin dealing, pimp x-boyfriend Hassan, or to sell her body for another sweet shot of bliss. Mr. Crockford, who made his daily bread robbing drug dealers at the same park, met Ms. Kneen after a particularly successful heist.
It was love at first sight.
For the next three years the couple has been off and on living together between frequent drug relapse, prostitution arrests and endless police visits for domestic violence.
Lottery Stories – Lovers become Enemies
Exactly a year ago Ms. Kneen bought a Powerball ticket on the way back to the flat she shared with Mr. Crockford, when she learnt she had won $3 million.
The couple went to Melbourne together to pick up the winning and the check was even made payable to his bank account. A week later Hassan the pimp, and Mr. Crockford’s baby mama convinced each of their former partners to take all the money and run.
The money was frozen until this week Magistrate Stuart Lindsay made a ruling as to the ownership of the lotto ticket. The Magistrate said both parties were ”very poor witnesses” who lied to help their own cases.
”Whoever bought the lotto ticket that day, there was an understanding that it was a joint ticket and that they would share the winnings,” the Magistrate ruled.
$1,600,000 was awarded to Ms. Kneen since she earned less than her former lover, Mr. Crockford, who was awarded $1,400,000.
