A former beauty queen is suing her airline-mechanic husband, claiming he tried to hide his lottery jackpot from her.
The clues trickled in that Donna Campbell's husband was hiding something from her.
Arnim Ramdass started to keep the television off at all times, then he disconnected their phone line. But the ah-ha! moment came when Campbell thumbed through the mail at their Miramar house and saw a postcard: Congratulations on the purchase of your new home.

Doesn’t matter. Sounds like he’s the putz in this.
Husband: “Pack your bags! I just won the lottery.”
Wife: “Where are we going? “
Husband: “I’m not going anywhere.”
LOL
I heard it:
Should I pack for the country or the seaside?
I don’t care which. Just get the heck out.
I LOVE that joke.
The guy is an idiot! To bad, both partys to this law suite are going to have the whole 600K eaten up by the lawyers! The lawyers will string this out until they figure the pot is empty!
Florida is the definitive community property state. When they find this guy, he’s going to be burnt toast without parole. And after that, it’s all downhill.
Nice picture.
They make a lovely couple,
Her and her lawyer, that is.
I agree. He is a putz for not sharing with his wife.
With $19 million, it should be no problem to buy a new identity and disappear.
He's going to buy a 7-11 with the money....
Snort....BWAAAHAAA
The Lawyers Motto: All men are innocent until proven pennyless.
Similar case came up in another community property state, California. Seems the wife was part of an employee group who won the state lottery. She consulted with the lottery people about keeping it for herself. They advised her to delay payment until she filed for divorce and have the payments delivered to her mother’s address. A few years later ex-husband gets a solicitation from one of those companies which lend money on lottery winnings paid over time. He investigates, finds the lottery information and sues for a share. Judge decides the woman fraudulently concealed the winnings in their divorce disclosure papers and awarded 100% of the remaining payments to ex-husband. I think she had been getting payments (about $65K a year) for only about five years of a twenty-year payout so I think she seriously blew it. Moral: Never take divorce advice from the lottery people.
There’s enough money for the both of them, for heavens’ sakes. How greedy can a person get!
Donna Campbell, seen here with her lawyer, Bruce Baldwin, is suing her husband over a lottery fortune. Campbell's husband is an American Airlines mechanic who recently hit the Florida lotto jackpot with a pool of a fellow employees at MIA.
“Arnim RAMDASS started to keep the television off at all times...”
He’s gonna feel like his @ss has been rammed when she and her lawyer get through. :)
