The couple got into the habit of buying the lottery every week and won the jackpot. However, when she won the lottery, the girl decided to break up with her fiancé and did not share the prize money with him.
Krik Stevens is a 37-year-old man engaged to his girlfriend, 39-year-old Laura Hoyle, both from Notts (England). In March 2021 the couple won a jackpot worth more than £3.6 million (equivalent to VND 98 billion) of the National Lottery during the Set For Life drawing. For this award, they will receive 10 thousand pounds every month for 30 years. Both were very happy to know that this was the turning point of their lives, a step forward. The joy did not last long when both had many problems with this award.
The boy said that both of them had been divorced before, when they met, they decided to remarry without hesitation. Krik also bought a ring to prepare to propose to his girlfriend. However, after winning this award, he noticed that his girlfriend had many changes: “I feel like Laura doesn’t want to get married anymore and that winning money is part of the problem,” Krik shared.
When she met Krik, Laura sold her house in Wolverhampton and moved into Krik’s house in Hucknall, Notts to live together. The guy said that when he came to stay, his girlfriend asked him about paying the rent but he refused so she decided to use that money to buy a lottery for both of them. Laura spends £25 a week buying the lottery in the hope of winning. Krik doesn’t think they can win because it’s a game of chance, he just wants to be near his girlfriend. After a series of days of diligently buying lotteries, the couple was lucky to win the jackpot and the check that the lottery unit had the winner’s name on. After diligently buying the lottery every week, they both won the jackpot
The joy was not long before the two had problems, and the winning amount was one of the causes of conflict. Krik said: “After winning, Laura immediately quit her job and bought a Porsche Cayenne. Everyone thought we were going to share that money together. Laura pays me £1000 a month from winnings and she encourages me to pursue a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. I would never do that, but Laura said she would pay off my student loans.” In addition, they both bought a house worth £500,000, but now after the renovation, only Laura has moved to a new house to live in.
Krik said that after going to a friend’s wedding in June 2022, Laura said she didn’t want to be with him anymore and Krik also tried to mend it, but his girlfriend didn’t care. The boy said that Laura used to be very happy to tell Krik about her life after winning the jackpot, the two would be extremely happy to be together, but now when she won the prize, the girl left. All left their boyfriends reeling when she was left, even the dog they both raised Laura demanded to be taken away.
When her boyfriend asked about the prize money, the girl frankly replied: “It’s not ours, it’s mine”. About how she gave her boyfriend £1000 a month before she said it was like rent and after she left she didn’t even share it with her boyfriend which made him feel very confused. Although their names are written on the winning board, they have not registered their marriage, so Krik cannot file a claim for division. The lottery unit also only spends the winnings on the individual registered under Laura’s name, so he doesn’t know how to solve this problem. “I just want 10% of the money. If she continues to pay me £1k a month, I’ll happily let it go. She can’t even notice it,” Kirk said sadly. Currently, the relationship of the two is no longer salvageable and the girl is very definitively breaking up with her boyfriend.
