Woman wins $4m lottery weeks after divorce; ex-husband loses appeal
A woman from Rhode Island has retained a $4 million lottery prize after her ex-husband's appeal to reopen their divorce proceedings was rejected by the state Supreme Court. The dispute centered on whether the winning ticket was purchased before or after their marriage was legally ended, and whether procedural mistakes during the divorce could invalidate the final judgment.
The Rhode Island Supreme Court upheld the divorce judgment on June 30, 2026, concluding that the Family Court had the authority to finalize the separation despite an error in the timing of the paperwork.
