Winner May Have To Split Mega Millions

A Rathdrum woman who split the second largest lottery jackpot in US history may have to split her winnings again with her estranged husband. A marriage license in the Kootenai County Recorder's office shows Josh Lahti and Holly Alford were wed in Coeur d'Alene in May of 2001. However over time, relatives say, the pair stopped living together. A check at the court house revealed there is no record of any divorce proceedings in Idaho or Washington and according to John George, an attorney with the law firm Palmer and George, if a divorce never happened, Josh Lahti can legally claim half of his estranged wife's winnings which would be worth approximately $40 Million/Jeff Humphrey, KXLY.
