Powerball Winner Sued By Girlfriend: Ex GF Wants Share Of $338 Million, Two Don't Date Cause Of Domestic Violence Charge To The Actual Winner

Powerball winner sued by girlfriend: Ex-girlfriend of $338 million winner wants a piece of the pie.

Last Friday, a state judge declined to freeze the assets of Pedro Quezada pending the outcome of the lawsuit filed by Ines Sanchez. The two stopped dating as she moved out of the powerball winner home that they lived together for 10 years. She was no longer his girlfriend because of a domestic violence charge against Quezada.

The Powerball winner is sued by his girlfriend because her attorney said it was some of her money used to purchase the winning ticket.

"I think we're kidding ourselves to say we'll ever see any of that money again," Sanchez's attorney Michael DeMarco argued in hoping to get the funds frozen, according to The Record. "If he is permitted to continue this course of conduct, there will be nothing left to talk about."

Quezada's attorney Jonathan W. Wolfe told the judge that since the couple was not married and had no verbal or written agreement on the lottery winnings, she has no claim.

While she declined to dismiss the lawsuit, the judge sided with Quezada's attorney.

"Our Legislature has spoken. It specifically said, 'For these types of arrangements, relationships, to be upheld there needs to be a writing. You cannot go forward with these types of relationships without something in writing,'" she said.

WCBS-TV reported in April that Quezada had to pay nearly $30,000 in back child support for three of his five children from another relationship.
