Ex-Wives Plan to Sue Lottery Winner
Women Claim They Deserve Half Of His Winnings

CANADIAN PRESS

A man who waited for nearly a year before cashing in Canada's biggest-ever lottery winnings has apparently gone abroad, leaving two ex-wives wanting a share of his $30 million Tax Free bonanza.

Raymond Sobeski bought his winning lottery ticket a year ago.

However, he waited until two weeks before the deadline to claim his prize, saying he has been seeking financial advice on how to handle the windfall.

The Globe and Mail newspaper reports that Mr Sobeski might also need some legal advice, with two ex-wives apparently eager to share half of the winnings.

The paper reports that Nancy Ionson claims she is still married to Mr Sobeski although the couple, who were married in 1998, never lived together.

Ms Ionson says she was served with divorce papers in January, after Mr Sobeski had won but had still not claimed the winnings.

She says she never signed those papers.

Also interested in a possible share is Mr Sobeski's first wife.

Sherry Sobeski, who had custody of the couple's two children, says her ex-husband is in arrears with child payment supports.

Mr Sobeski, who went into bankruptcy in 1996, was not available for comment.

Last week, he said he planned to go abroad - to an unspecified destination - for a vacation.

Both women plan to file a lawsuit against Sobeski seeking their share of the winnings.
