Our client, James, is "part owner" of a winning lottery ticket. It's ironic, because his spouse, Kara, just filed for divorce yesterday, not knowing that James and his co-workers routinely pooled their money and purchased tickets. James wonders if Kara is entitled to any of these winnings.
A. Yes, if the co-worker who bought it gives James as share as a "gift."
B. No, because it was though work that he joined the syndicate.
C. Yes, if he is to receive proceeds as a contractual obligation, and marital funds were used to purchase the ticket.
D. No, because she filed for divorce before he received the payout.
