CANADIAN LOTTERY WINNER’S GIRLFRIEND TAKES THE MONEY AND RUNS

A Canadian man claims he lost his $3.6 million lottery winnings to his ex-girlfriend. Winnipeg resident Lawrence Campbell bought himself a 6/49 lottery ticket at a convenience store on January 19, 2024. He gave the ticket to his girlfriend, Krystal, because he had lost his wallet. They forgot about the lottery until he found the ticket on the floor of a friend’s home days later. When Campbell scanned the ticket’s barcode on his phone, he discovered he had won the jackpot – $3.6 million. He and Krystal rushed over to a nearby lottery outlet to record a video of them verifying their win. But then, lottery officials told him he cold not claim the money because he lacked a valid government-issued ID. They advised him to let his girlfriend collect the winnings in her name. Campbell felt things were going pretty good with Krystal, so he said yes, and Krystal then became the “face” of the jackpot winner. She deposited the $3.6 million into her bank account because Campbell didn’t have one. Then she began ghosting him. Then he found her in bed with another man. Krystal dumped him and filed a protection order against him. Mr. Campbell is now suing Krystal and the Western Canada Lottery Corporation for allegedly influencing the decisions that led to his loss.
* Sounds like he won the Girlfriend Lottery, too.
* Never let anybody tell you you can’t put a price on love.
* I’m sure there’s another side to this story, one where Krystal says she had to do it because Lawrence Campbell is just plain ugly.
* No valid ID, no bank account, sorry, but that’s a bunch of loser flags right there.
* Sure, he feels bad, but y’know who feels worse? The friend who let the ticket lay on his floor long enough for them to remember about it.
