you have the crux of the case just there.

the waiver because she was told the husband bought the ticket. and then finding not only was it bought on truck route, but that her own name was on the original check

My friend and I told that to the boys a couple years ago, when they got out of the pool, they all checked to see if they were dyed blue.

Apparently 1 in 5 adults admit to it, which makes me wonder how many people do and don't admit to it.

I haven't swam in a public pool for years and won't be any time soon.

Ganguin signed a waiver for the B.C. Lottery Corporation in which she accepted that the winning ticket was not purchased through their business.

It looks like Ganguin changed her mind and wants to show a jury her 6.3 million reasons why.

In the absence of such evidence, said Armstrong, the plaintiff's only hope is for a trial judge to disbelieve the defendant's evidence after hearing cross-examination of both parties.

The only evidence Fehr needs is the signed waiver by Ganguin and t... [ More ]

Preferably with anchors weights, holding them all pinned down at the bottom of the deepest ocean (Pacific), while all chained to each other.

Too late. Already involved in a 5$ pool with players from four different countries who still think a wheelbarrel is two buckets hanging on a stick. Our win tonight will make story of the year.

had agreed that each could regularly use money from their business to purchase lottery tickets.

I sure hope it was a bit more specific than that. As written, it makes the typical office pool with only a verbal agreement and a rotating group of members look like a well thought out plan by a genius.

It's hard for liars to keep their lies straight sometimes.

If she told her partner that her husband bought it then she shouldn't have told everyone else that she bought it while driving the company vehicle.

I think that's gonna prove to be a 6 million dollar mistake.

When players make kind of a general agreements about buying lottery tickets those kinds of a general agreements don't usually work when one of them wins because every one have their own interpretations of the agreement.

Sorry DC81. Suing is one of Canada's favorite past times.

I believe that suing is one of America's favorite past times. When all else fails, start suing anyone and everyone

If she signed the waiver because she was told that the ticket was purchased by the husband (dh - darling husband), it shows that she was willing to believe that she had no part... it sounds like she only changed her mind once the story changed to being her BUSINESS partner (with whom she did have a lottery pooling agreement - using 'common money' from their joint business) having purchased the ticket and HER name somehow being on the winning check...

Sounds like it could be an interesting tri... [ More ]

Woman sues business partner for share of $12.6M lottery jackpot

Lottery Post — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:00:50 GMT

A lawsuit launched by a New Westminster, British Columbia, woman who claims she was tricked out of her equal share of a $12.6 million lottery jackpot is going to a full trial.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled that the legal action filed by Maria Ganguin over the winning Canada Lotto 6/49 ticket against her ex-business partner, Maria Fehr, and her husband, Daniel Fehr, should be settled with full testimony before a trial judge.

The defendants sought to have the matter resolved in a summ... [ More ]
