They probably divided what they accumulated while married when they divorced, she has no rights to expect a share of what he and his latest wife have accumulated.

Instead of giving to a faceless charity he should send a gift to her. As long as he gets permission from his wife. Gifts keep on giving.

Because rather than just report, they need to make it juicy. Take him back? They split

17 years ago, they each moved on and that's that. No comment would have been the

better response. Who knows how her feelings and statements will change when she's

reminded of her old status by meddling friends who might think she's crazy for not

wanting any of it. I can hear them now...'25 years and you don't want anything!'...

'Think of what you've been through, you deserve it!'....'You are c... [ More ]

. . .taking their spouses to the cleaners.

Yes, and you have no idea how much that line cracks me up.

A couple people I know: Derek and some woman

A couple weeks ago, I ran into a couple people I know. OK, they are both black. I'm a better acquaintance with the guy than with the woman to which I found him speaking. Now, they're not together, but he was talking to her like he was giving her advice or something. They're both about 10 - 15 years younger than I am.

I'm really going to t... [ More ]

The x-wifes comment: I don't want or expect anything from him . She is a rare lady of good standing. Most former wives are taking their spouses to the cleaners. Glad to see a person who can Carry on in life without harboring ill towards another.

This Gent seems rather reasonable . May good memories be made with this kinda dough :) Paint the town Red now

Any chance of seeing a US version of this. Would be interesting

Yup, exactly right. If she wasn't in the witness protection program, what kind of moron reporter wouldn't have been able to find out he was previously married with a simple click of a mouse? Second biggest lotto jackpot? Does a person have to be Edward R Murrow to know to do a cursory glance at his background in case there was something juicy there? That sounds much more likely than anyone needing to call the press to reveal the shocking and totally flabbergasting news that he had an ex-wife.... [ More ]

Exactamundo!

And also, not knowing exactly how womens' minds work, I'd suggest the following:

How about going to this guy whom you admit is a nice guy

and asking for an expensive gift two?

OK?

How would that sound?

Then, you come to the good ol' USA, and look me up:

Elmer Groppo, and get me something, like a nice Jeep or something.

(lol I thot Groppo was pretty bad, but elmer

Another reason to remain anonymous! Once a winner is publicly identified, the media dig into his or her private life. How many people would be happy with that

Older kids + younger kids + younger wife = divorced.

If the UK is anything like the US, for a small fee one can find out info regarding divorces/marriages online. Heck, all you have to do is google and find the info for free.

Why seek her out for comment at all?

I doubt that the media went looking for her. They'd have had to know or find out he was divorced, then look through old records to find out the name the ex had at that time, then find out her current name and then track her down. I don't think they'd go to the trouble for a non-story like this one.

Much more likely that somebody brought her to the attention of the media.

Agreed ! Like they're just trying to stir the pot.

The chart was interesting

Snarky and misleading article by the press. They have been divorced for a long time, both remarried, and both appear to be happy with their current spouses. Why seek her out for comment at all

A million dollar home? That is a lot of space. Taxes, insurance, water bills, gardner, maid, chef, driver, and more.

You almost would have to relocate. If everyone know you won.I would become a day care provider for all my grand kids.

Ex-wife of big UK lottery winner still wouldn't take him back

Lottery Post — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 14:15:21 GMT

The ex-wife of the man who won a 32.5 million (US$45.5 million) lottery jackpot has said she would not take her former spouse back, even with his multi-million fortune.

Jenny Brown, 61, used to be married to Gerry Cannings, 63, who was announced yesterday as the lucky winner of the second biggest ever Lotto jackpot.

But management consultant Ms. Brown, who has since remarried, said: My new husband asked if it would have been worth being married to him for 32 million. No. I don't envy him a... [ More ]
