Ex-wife’s response to her ex-husband winning $273m lottery post-divorce sparks debate

Mere months after their divorce was finalized, the ex-husband of Eileen Murray won a $273 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

And how she felt about that!? Well, she said she wouldn’t take him back or ask for any of his money. However, she shared her frustration at continuing to make alimony payments to him, because as she stated in an interview, “To him, [the alimony] is pocket change at this point.”

Eileen added: “Think about the amount of money that he has just won. What I’m paying him is a pittance.”

During their marriage of 15 years, Eileen’s husband, Mike Weirsky, was having a hard time holding down a job, making Eileen the family’s breadwinner.

Following their separation, as per the law, she was ordered by the court to pay her ex-husband a spousal support because he was the dependent partner in the relationship, and sadly, she’s still paying him the money despite his jaw-dropping lottery win.

It was a court decision based on the dynamics of their marriage.

“I’m not going after anything. I have morals. I know what I’ve worked for and it’s everything that I have,” Eileen said and added that she didn’t believe her ex would reach out to her and offer some cash, although she hoped “he’d do the right thing.”

Asked what she meant with that, Eileen said, “Think about it. How long did I work? How long did I support him? I had to give him a lot of money in the divorce.

“You tell me what’s the moral thing to do.”

Eileen’s story sparked controversy.

There have been those who believe she deserves a portion of the lottery money her ex-husband won, while others say that “Mike won twice!”

“It would be a nice idea to gift her a little $$ money to make her life a little easier,” someone wrote.

“She did support him throughout the marriage,” another person added.

A third agreed: “I’d still give her a few mil for supporting him all those years and move on.”

Eileen believes that her ex would give money to members of his family and will likely donate some to animals charities.
