Man claims he snagged a $3.6M lottery win— only to have girlfriend collect the cash and ghost him
NY Post ^ | 5/31/25 | Gabrielle Fahmy

A Canadian man said he hit the jackpot — then got left in the lurch.

Lawrence Campbell of Winnipeg claimed he paid for a lottery ticket that turned out to be a $3.6 million ($5M Canadian dollars) winner but couldn’t officially collect the winnings because he had lost his wallet and ID, so his longtime girlfriend Krystal McKay collected the prize instead.

But instead of living a life of luxury together, McKay allegedly ghosted Campbell — who is now suing her to recoup the cash, according to reports.

He trusted her because the pair were “in a loyal, committed and promising romantic partnership,” lawyer told CTV News.

Campbell and McKay had been dating for a year and a half and lived together, he told the outlet.

But less than two weeks after McKay cashed in the big fat check, she failed to return to the hotel room they’d been sharing, he claimed.

“He set out to visit a few of her known spots where she would party and sure enough after some investigation, he found her; in bed, with another guy,” he told CTV News.

Marriage and no-fault divorce can be worse — as more than a few husbands get cleaned out by property awards or settlements for wives who cheated on them.

The autopen is mightier than the lotto board.
Can you get an autopen on Amazon?

The least he could have done was go with her.

I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money
And I brought it home to Molly

She swore that she’d love me
Never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly’s chamber
Takin’ my money with me
And I never knew the danger

If Abraham had asked God to spare Sodom if 10 righteous women could be found there, God would have laughed at him.

A fool and his money... and some men actually believe that the stripper is in love with them.

A little late except for the fact that he should be thankful he dodged a bullet.... but he should have been reflecting on some Proverbs when considering who he was shacking up with (and this is where his problem all started)....

Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Proverbs 21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Proverbs 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

It’s generally a good idea to have a girlfriend who likes you.
