Man claims ex dumped him weeks after they bought winning £1,000,000 scratchcard
A couple are waging war over a £1 million lotto scratchcard they ‘purchased together’ weeks before breaking up.
Michael Cartlidge, 39, and former partner Charlotte Cox, 37, purchased the Lottery card together at a shop in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
But when Charlotte walked out on Michael a few weeks later, she was deemed to be the sole winner of the jackpot by lottery chiefs.
Michael admits that Charlotte both paid for and scratched the ticket. But he also claims that he was the one who suggested she buy the ticket and attempted to transfer her cash to cover the purchase while they were in the shop.
