It’s been eight months since
Pedro Quezada (pictured right) got lucky by winning the fourth-largest lottery pot in history at a whopping $338 million. Now Quezada is being sued by his former 10-year live-in girlfriend,
Inez Sanchez (pictured), for reportedly not sharing his wealth because, in his eyes, they were never legally married, according to
The Record.
But now the script has been flipped: According to Quezada’s attorneys, his live-in love of 10 years and the Mother of one of his children is not deserving of a red cent because she is not his wife.
Either way, Quezada’s attorneys contend that a major portion of his winnings are gone: $57 million was sent to Quezada’s homeland of the Dominican Republic, $5 million was given away, $300,000 was used to purchase a Clifton, N.J., home, and $20 million has reportedly just poofed into air.
How can $20 million just disappear?

The live-in girlfriend of lottery winner Pedro Quezada, a Dominican bodega owner from Passaic, N.J., is going home alone and penniless.
The former couple settled a lawsuit Friday filed by the woman, Inez Sanchez, who was seeking a share of the $338 million Powerball jackpot Quezada won last spring.
The (Bergen County, N.J.) Record
newspaper reported
that under the terms of the settlement, Sanchez agreed to drop the lawsuit and relinquish all rights to pursue it further. In exchange, Quezada agreed not to charge her for the attorneys’ fees it cost him to defend himself.
The case was settled when state Superior Court Chancery Division Judge Margaret Mary McVeigh was about to rule on a motion to dismiss Sanchez’s suit, filed in January.
Quezada, 44, was the sole winner of the Powerball drawing last spring, worth about $152 million after taxes.

I guess this is why you don't get married.
