  • Mike Weirsky couldn't believe his luck when he saw he had hit it big. "It still hasn't hit me," he told Inside Edition. The Alpha, New Jersey, man won last Friday's $273 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, but he now finds himself in a bit of a pickle. Weirsky got divorced about five months ago. During the course of his 15-year marriage, Weirsky never once worked while his ex-wife, Eileen Murray, supported him. Even now, she's paying him court-ordered alimony. #InsideEdition

    Generally, an ex-wife has no rights to money her spouse earns after a divorce. Mike being the good guy that he is would probably have given her something for old times sake, but now that she is taking him to court, he may not be so generous. The good Samaritan who found the tickets and handed them to the cashier is the REAL hero, not the cashier. The cashier in this video is saying he found them. Other articles say a customer found them and handed them in. We need to see the store video to be sure. Mike has already said that when that good Samaritan is identified, he will take care of them.

    He's a POS if he doesn't give her anything. I'm sure the reason why she didn't want to get back with him was because he was clearly living off her and a sorry excuse of a man. He should at least give the cashier something for keeping it for him too. The cashier could have easily signed it and kept it for himself but he did the right thing. If this guy doesn't do right by them, I wouldn't be surprised if he spends most of his winnings and ends up broke like most lottery winners.

    I think a good amount would be 15 million for the ex like 1 million for every year she supported him and for sure give money to the store clerk

    If he throws anyone some cash it should be the cashier that kept the ticket safe. I agree that his ex wife could use a little bit of a reimbursement for taking care of him but still that is totally his call.
