Estranged Wife Denied Husband's Lottery Winnings

Story here. Excerpt:

'POLK COUNTY, Fla. -- For richer or poorer, that's the vow, but it's not the law. Ida and William Cody are married, but have lived apart for decades. When William hit the lottery, Ida thought she'd get a share of it.
...
It took jurors just one hour to decide Ida had no claim on her estranged husband's $1.9 million lottery jackpot. Ida said she gave William Cody $20 to purchase the winning ticket, but the jury didn't buy her story.

The Codys were married in 1974, but they've been separated for more than 20 years. And, until William Cody struck it rich, the pair weren't on speaking terms.

"I'd rather have ne'er a penny and be eating grass than to have all the money in the world and her nagging me, putting me through all this stuff," William said.'
