Can’t I Confide In You In Peace – Man Sues His Baby Mama For Informing Everyone He Awon $1.3bn Lottery (Watch Video)
A man who earlier this year won a massive $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot, one of the highest lottery payments in American history, has filed a lawsuit against his baby mom.
According to CBS News, the lottery winner, whose identity is protected by pseudonyms, alleges that his child’s mother, who goes by “baby mama,” broke a nondisclosure agreement by telling family members about the victory.
The case was brought before the U.S. District Court located in Portland, and according to court documents, the defendant gave the winner’s father and stepmother access to the private information.
The identities of both parties involved remain shrouded in secrecy, with the court papers only revealing that the winner resides in Maine, while the defendant resides in Massachusetts.
The defendant has until December 6th to respond to the legal action.
To safeguard his anonymity, the lottery winner and the child’s mother supposedly entered into a nondisclosure agreement shortly after he purchased the winning ticket at a gas station in Lebanon, Maine.
The complaint filed by the winner, represented by attorney Gregory Brown of Knoxville, Tennessee, seeks an injunction and a minimum of $100,000 in damages.
Overcoming formidable odds of approximately 1 in 302.6 million, the lottery winner secured the grand prize in the Mega Millions lottery last January.
This victory marked a historic moment for Maine, as it was the first time a ticket purchased in the state matched all six numbers to claim the jackpot, ranking among the largest in Mega Millions history.
