Hubby Skips After Hitting Florida Lottery; Lets Home Go To Foreclosure, Abandoned Ill Wife Faces The Boot

In Miramar, Florida, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports:

• A former skin-care model who sued her husband to claim half his Florida Lotto winnings -- and lost -- is about to be evicted from the house they once shared. Donna Campbell, 49, says ever since she found out her husband won the lottery with his co-workers and tried to keep her from finding out, nothing good has happened. "It almost feels as if that winning ticket has destroyed my life," Campbell said. Her husband, Arnim Ramdass, 53, bought the winning ticket in a pool with his co-workers, mechanics at Miami International Airport, in June 2007. The jackpot was worth $19 million, but they collected a lump sum of $10.2 million, and after taxes, each got about $450,000.

• In February, their three-bedroom house went into foreclosure and was sold. Campbell's name was never on the title. And the new owners told her she must move. Campbell, who doesn't work, said she has been in and out of the hospital due to an autoimmune disease and relies on the help of friends. She said Monday her sister has offered her a couch she can bunk on temporarily.
