    Nigel Page lottery winner

    I must admit this story passed me by at the time (a year ago)...

    £56m lottery winner ordered to pay £2m to ex-wife even though she left him for another man... TEN YEARS ago
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    This is part of the reason why I never, ever want to get married.

    If a woman is interested in spending time with crazy me (hey, stranger things have happened!) she'll have to settle for a relationship and let that be that - I don't believe in contemporary marriage (i.e. "state-sanctioned marriage").

    I just don't understand how a court deems her worthy of X millions pounds TEN years after they split?

    And then:-
    a) For her to decide a million pounds offered to her in good will isn't enough, and that she instead wants more.
    b) For the courts to declare the £2M she won in the settlement need not be put in a trust fund for their daughter and she can spend it all as she wants.

    In short, what has she done to deserve millions of his winnings?
