Lottery winner may have to split it with estranged husband
An Idaho woman who won half of the $380 million Mega Millions lottery may have to split it with her estranged husband, KPTV reports.
Idaho lottery officials said last week that Holly Lahti, 29, of Rathdrum, Idaho, won half the jackpot, which will amount to around $90 million after taxes if she chooses a one-time payout.
Holly, a bank clerk, and Joshua Lahti, 31, were married in 2001, but separated several years later, according to relatives, KPTV reports.
According to the Daily Mail of London, Joshua has been convicted of domestic battery, drug possession and buying alcohol for a minor and has been arrested more than a dozen times.
The Mail also reports that both Holly and Joshua were booked on battery charges in 2003 and jailed.
The report includes mug shots of the pair. Holly is shown with a black eye.
ABC reports that Holly was arrested on a battery charge against another woman that was later dismissed.
But with no record of divorce, Joshua, under Idaho community property law, appears well-positioned to claim half of his wife's winnings.

She sounds like a real winner herself. My word...
I'm not redneck enough to win a lottery.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
