i guess he finally got the ticket he wanted to get away from her, the winning lottery ticket!!!!  and she got lung disease from the stress, give me a break...i wonder if she is a smoker?  he had every right to leave and not share the money, why did she need to tell the public about the relationship problems prior to the win..she screwed herself over..

My heart goes out to the wife. I really-really hope everything works out for her. I doubt she will get anything from the husband. I would not be surprised if he's already lost all of the money.

Knowing Ramdass liked to gamble, Campbell searched his name on Google. She discovered a press release announcing that he and his friends had won the Lotto jackpot
``This one, we took at the Hard Rock,'' she said, pointing to a picture of her and her husband in their wedding attire. ``We went gambling until 3 or 4 a.m. and we always said we'd share . . . If I won $40, I shared it with him.''

I hate to say this, but the best thing she can do right now is move on with her life. It is said the best revenge is good living. I would not be surprised to hear that hubby is found in a casino somewhere with his azz whooped and his money took.
As we all know, karma has a way of levelling lifes playing field. I'd really like to see how this story ends.

Donna Campbell of Miramar, FL, you are in my prayers and I sincerely hope you find health-peace-& happiness!!!!

Makes you wonder if the person you're with is true.

Hey Miss Donna  (Shouting Out)

 You can come crash on my couch if you want,  I'm not exactly rich,  and my Floor furnice went out about 4 years ago, so its a little chilly, until I turn on the electric heater.

    But at least you'd have a place to stay.   I mean really,... she's in the public eye, I don't think she'll end up in a homeless shelter or anything.

      Shame on Hubby for running out though.

is this the definition of until death do us part i don't think this is  maybe that's the reason me and others are single. she need him now but don't worry what goes around comes around he will find himself in her shoes. she should be rewarded i rather be with a broke person than a person with money and they do right by me and i'm happy the money will come along with love involved... i have sympathy for her she is struggling and to be strong i know you men are going to dog me out and it's ok it's 2009 women are more independent and strong.....

The Party is Over (So is the Marriage): Time to find a Job and Return to Work!

Yeah, time to go to work and get that scrub!

I don't know much about various states marital law but it sure seems that she would be entitled to half of the winnings since they were married and the money was won during their marriage together  Wouldn't that become an asset of their marriage??

I doubt we are getting the whole story. I would bet they had problems in their marrige before he bought the winning ticket.

Three sides to every story...Mine, yours and the truth...Seems like the judge probably got closer to the truth...Something tells me she was no where to be found before the money and came back in after it...

"My heart goes out to the wife."

Which one, the mother of his daughter or the beauty queen?

Apparently NOT:

To love, honor and obey may have been part of their marriage vows, but a South Florida man apparently felt sharing his lotto winnings wasn't part of the deal, and on Thursday, a Miami-Dade judge agreed.

Donna Campbell, 48, appeared before Circuit Judge Jennifer D. Bailey demanding half of her husband's lotto jackpot. "She has no identifiable legal rights at this time," the judge said. "Where does the law say you automatically have a right to participate in the proceeds?"

http://www.lotterypost.com/news/175174

"A $19 million jackpot went to a company called Ibis Corporation, listing the names of a group of her husband's coworkers. There was a Ramdass on the list, but it wasn't Campbell's husband � it was Janelle Ramdass, his daughter from a previous marriage. The company, [Campbell's Lawyer, Richard Lara] contends, was formed as way to hide the money from Campbell."

"Hey guys... let's form a corporation! Just so we can hide the profits from my wife!"

"Janelle Ramdass and the Ibis Corporation were named in the suit along with Arnim Ramdass. They are accused of fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, conversion and violating Florida's fraudulent transfer act."

Really? The Fraudulent Transfer Act?

And then, the article ends with this classic:

"Richard Lara (Campbell's Attorney), who also represents a man whose wife cashed a $28 million lottery ticket the day after their divorce became final, said he hopes that the threat of his daughter facing penalties will bring Arnim Ramdass out of hiding."

Um, so this attorney (Richard Lara) has made a specialty of domestic disputes arising from lottery winnings?

This is a tough room. Very little sympathy for the Mrs.

The only part of this story I find shocking is that the judge threw out the case. If they're married then she's entitled to half. Luckily there's no kids involved.

I'm surprised American Airlines has nothing to say. Many companies have certain expectations of their employees even outside work. I know mine does.

Sounds like to me he made it all legal by claiming as a winner in his daughter's name.  Lottery tickets don't have names on them until you put them there.
