https://www.thestar.com/halifax/2018/07/13/nova-scotia-woman-will-take-nephew-to-court-over-chace-the-ace-winnings.html

tl;dr:
she only intended to split the smaller weekly prize if they won that, but ended up winning the grand prize. and since his name is on the ticket he gets half. now she doesn't want him to get half and will be taking him to court.

EDIT: i'm pretty sure he was aware she used his name, they put both their names on the ticket i believe

What an idiot.
He should counter-sue get for unauthorized use of his name, and since it was used for luck, and she won, she owes him part of her half.

Lady is fucking scum. It's in his name so legally he has claim to the full amount no?

Even if ite both their names the 50-50 is fine. She has no claim.

Like if both people had their name on the deed to a property you can't go "Sorry Johnny the house is worth more than we thought so I am kicking you out"

I would cut ties with her. This kinda of greed and behavior is a toxic Influence should be rid of.

I didn't read the article, but I assume she put both her name and his on the ticket, not just his... That would be even stupider

I hope she has to pay every penny of her share in legal fees and paying for his legal fees when he wins.

Right? She looks like she's at least in her mid 40s, she could easily make that money last for the rest of her life while living quite comfortably.

Reddick said she put MacInniss name on the ticket for good luck and claims she agreed to split the money if they won the smaller weekly prize but not the much bigger jackpot.

When asked why she did that, Reddick responded: Because hes like a son to me . . . he was.

Yeah he was lucky, but not for half a million dollars, Reddick told TV reporters.

When asked if she thought her nephew deserved the money, Reddick said: No, I dont think so.


She has no case and is stupid and greedy.

She's a dumb lady, he doesn't owe her a penny.

On a side note he's really attractive. I'd sign a prenup for him.
