Wife of $149 million winner wants out of marriage, part of jackpot
 

what a bitch, she should get nothing..........


NEW YORK (AP) -- Money -- not even $149 million -- can't buy you love.

Juan Rodriguez, who collected the huge windfall in the Mega Millions lottery last month, is now on the outs with his wife, the New York Post reported Saturday. Iris Rodriguez wants a divorce from her husband of 17 years, and she filed the paperwork just 10 days after Juan bought the winning ticket on November 19.

Iris Rodriguez is seeking a portion of her husband's huge lottery check, the Post said. Rodriguez, 49, opted to take his winnings in a single lump-sum payment of $88.5 million before taxes.

Although the couple appeared together at a news conference after Rodriguez matched the winning numbers, his wife had previously given him the boot over his financial difficulties.

Rodriguez had filed for bankruptcy a month before his lottery win, and court papers showed he had just 78 cents in a savings account and owed $44,000 to creditors.

The Colombian immigrant bought the winning ticket at a store near the midtown Manhattan parking lot where he worked double shifts as an attendant, earning about $28,000 a year.



:eek7

That reminds me of a song of the Beatles :1orglaugh

I'm happy for the guy, but the bitch should get nothing IMO. Fuking gold digging bitch.

Exactly, it was him who bought the ticket.

If she filed for divorce prior to him winning! fuck her!

BUT...The courts will not look at it that way! they will say that the divorce was not finalized!:(

Why lose 149$ million, when all itll take is 1 million and problem solved? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

he bought the ticket ..but he probably got the money from his wife since all he had was 44 cents in the bank and was 40 grand in the red..and we all know how wives like to hold all the funds in a relationship and dish them out as they see fit...then again he probably got the lotto ticket money from stealing toll booth change out of cars on the parking lot he worked at:2 cents:

what a hahahaha

maybe putting up with his stupid ass for 17 years was enough for her to stomach and at last she can leave his ass and take what she earned. You guys are so onesided.:1orglaugh

that sounds like that movie "It Could Happen To You" (with Nick Cage & Bridget Fonda) lol

I'm sure what both will have from now on: good lawyers :)

That's not going to work, they're going have to split the winnings... some thing like this happened before.

If i was him i'd move to Canada or somewhere else. :stoned

What happened to love? She should get nothing :mad:

:(

Money can drive you MAAAADD! Mwahahaha! :feels-hot

$149 Mill > 88 Mill > 44 Mill After Tax > 20 Mill After the Wife is done. Guess he isn't as rich as he thought.

just pay someone 30k to kill her........

I'd personally give her half an move on with my life.
Shit! It's not like he's gonna be starving with 44 mil.

lol

Yeah, right, as if he was not the prime suspect in such a case ...

what a gold digger, shame she will end up getting a portion of it

nice...

simple.....dont leave any proof :)

It depends on the law in NY State. But as I understand it in CA if they are seperated then she is not entitled to anything.

They would both have to prove the state of the relationship at the moment he bought the ticket.

Might be best to offer her a settlement to go away, especially if you consider what the lawyers will cost and the fact that he will be paying for his and might under divorce law pay for hers as well.

If he's not paying for hers who is or is the lawyer on a cut of the proceeds? He will be very interested in getting a quick settlement.

Yea what a bitch, but c'mone...what would you do? Deadbeat hubby cant hang on to 2 bucks, so you decide after 17 yrs to boot him, it isn't final.....and he wins the lotto?



You're telling me you guys wouldnt bleed the dood dry? I sure as fuck would.

owned :2 cents:

Well with the money he got he should not care about his wife anyways... :)

Why shouldnt she get half?

When they were 44k in debt, was she not half of that in debt too? Plus he probably bought this ticket and many other tickets with their joint money. That was ok when he wasnt winning was it?

I agree she should get sweet nothing.
She threw him out when he was broke so I say the bitch gets sweet fuck all.
But we all know the courts will give half :mad: :321GFY

my thoughts exactly! After 17 years with his dumbass she should get 1/2

damn this guy must be a real loser...

it's still a shitload of money

If he was so bad, why did she stick around for 17 years?

Face it shes just another gold digger like the rest of the women who want a divorce.

not a fucking dime

New York is an "equitable distribution" state. Separate property, including property acquired before a marriage and any gifts or inheritances whenever acquired, is to remain with the spouse who owns it. Separate property also includes any increase in value or property acquired in exchange for separate property. Marital property acquired during the marriage will be equitably divided between the spouses, based on the following factors: (1) the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker...

cont'd

Probably depends on how her lawyer approached it.. But I would imagine she'll not walk away empty handed..

C U N T !

She spent 17 years with the guys, so she should get some.
She's lucky he won before the divorce was prononced.
Because they were seperated before he won, she may have forfeited a 50% claim, however it is in his best interest to settle with her before this reaches a court or he would risk having to give 50%.

I'd bet that in the end she'll get around 10Mil :2 cents:

what a BITCH !!!!!!!!! poor guy, I hope she ends up getting nothing but a small settlement

I think I watched a movie like this once :glugglug

20 million, no wife 3 days after only having .44 cents in the bank, LMAO

WOOO HOOOO ITS PARTY TIME, if the bitch wanna go them go Ill buy 4 more and boot em when I see fit. Give her da money so what. ya goto bed with 44 cents and wake up with 20 million, id be happy with that.


:thumbsup

Doesn't suprise me in the least bit.

I think I'd hire a hit man to give her a pair of cement shoes. The gold digging bitch, deserves nothing.

Since they are Colombian...I can easily say she's a gold digging bitch...I can also tell you that the majority of Colombian men, are cheating perverts....

But since I don't know this is true...
All I can say IS WOW!! :warning
Luck.......

nah if she was just a gold digger she wouldn't have wasted 17 years on a dumbass with just 78 cents
Gold diggers are smarter then that, a gold digger would never waste 17 years of her youth like that, besides gold diggers go for the men that already have money.

If he gives her half he walks away with $22 million, what is your definition of a winner then?

You?
