A lawyer for a man who says his former girlfriend “ghosted” him after claiming a $5-million prize on a lottery ticket he bought will be in a Winnipeg court Friday, asking a judge for an order to prevent the woman from giving away any of her money or selling other assets.
Lawrence Campbell’s lawsuit says he bought the winning 6/49 ticket at a convenience store on Isabel Street in Winnipeg the day before the draw and handed it to his then girlfriend, Krystal McKay, who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, because he had recently lost his wallet.
She claimed the multimillion-dollar prize in the Jan. 20, 2024, draw, though Campbell alleges he alone purchased the ticket, and as its sole owner, “is entitled to restitution in the full amount” of $5 million, according to his lawsuit. (From YouTube video description)
