A Florida woman has filed for bankruptcy after losing a large chunk of a $1 million lottery jackpot to her boyfriend who sued her for failing to share, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Lynn Anne Poirier didn't list former boyfriend Howard Browning as a creditor in the case filed on Saturday. She listed the case against Browning as "pending." Last month, a Seminole County jury ordered her to pay Browning $291,000 after deciding that the couple had a valid but unwritten contract to split any large lottery jackpot. Browning's attorney Sean Sheppard asked a judge last week to tack on more than $150,000, claiming interest due from the 2007 jackpot. Poirier took a one-time lump sum $750,000 payment and claimed in court there wasn't an agreement to split the jackpot.
