BREAKING NEWS – Lebanon, Maine – A man who won one of the largest lottery payments in U.S. history has filed a federal lawsuit against the mother of his child in an attempt to keep his identity concealed.
The man won a $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot earlier this year after purchasing a lottery ticket at a gas station in Lebanon, Maine. He has sued his child’s mother in U.S. District Court in Portland with a complaint that she violated a nondisclosure agreement by “directly or indirectly disclosing protected subject matter” about his winnings, court papers state.
The court papers state that the defendant in the case disclosed the information to the winner’s father and stepmother.
The defendant was angry at how his parents reacted to him winning the $1.35 billion. “My dad came up to me and asked me to forgive the $35.00 he owes me, and I emphatically told him ‘no’! And then my stepmother approached me, begging me to get her some new dentures. I told her I was willing to pay for half, and not a penny more. This is the type of harassment I was trying to avoid.”
