Richard Lord lived for 15 years with the woman who just won a $758 million Powerball lottery jackpot.
He would be entitled to half of the winnings if he had just asked her to marry him before they separated last August. But a bad experience with his previous marriage put him off.
“I was married for 20 years but that ended in one big headache. She got the kids, I used to have a gorgeous house and she got that too,” he told Daily Mail.
“After the divorce I was left with barely enough to eat. So after all of that I wasn’t in any hurry to get married again,” he added.
