Canadian resident Gerald Moore says something's suspicious about his step-daughter's winning lottery ticket, namely, that it's his, says the Ottawa Citizen.

The 81-year-old claims his 59-year-old wife, Patricia Moore, medicated him to the point of incoherence, swiped a winning ticket off his nightstand and handed it off to her daughter, Bobbie-Jo. Shorty after, Patricia filed for divorce.

Gerald discovered his step-daughter was the recipient of $3.5 million when he read it in the newspaper. Hmmm...now that seems a bit suspect.

Patricia denies the allegations, stating that they all regularly play the lottery, and the winning stub was her daughter's. And what a generous daughter Patricia has: Bobbie-Jo gave her mother $1.5 million.

Patricia says Gerald's nine children are at the root of the allegations, looking to get their hands on the cash, and plans to counter-sue her husband for "character assassination."

Patricia and Gerald should take a lesson in civility from the Brititsh lottery winner who gave a portion to her ex.
