Dispute over a millionaire Lottery prize: a man claims that he bought it with his partner, but she left him and kept everything

A man and a woman who bought a lottery ticket together, when they were still a couple, are at war. The ticket they acquired was awarded a million pounds sterling and now that they have separated, the administration has given the prize only to her.

As revealed by the Daily Mail newspaper, Michael Cartlidge and Charlotte Cox bought the ticket together. Cox was the one who paid for it and scraped it, but Cartlidge claims he was the one who wanted to buy it and even tried to wire the money to Cox. The man has also claimed that the woman initially agreed to share the money, but after breaking up with him she regretted it.

The owners of the lottery administration decided to open an investigation and told Cartlidge that the prize would be divided. However, said administration was bought by another person, who decided to give the money to Cox.

“I am in shock. I can openly admit that we wouldn't have gotten that ticket without Charlotte, but she wouldn't have gotten it without me either.. “I know the money came out of his bank account, but it should be 50-50 morally,” the man told The Sun newspaper.

According to the new owner of the administration, the lottery rules establish that only one person can own a ticket and that only the person whose name and address are written on the back of the ticket can claim the prize.. “An award can only be paid to one person and this is always clearly communicated to award applicants,” he said.
