He made $220 million and died. His new wife has to support her ex.

A truck driver who won €220 million in the lottery in Ljubljana spent most of his winnings on personal investments, car and home upgrades, and eventually divorced his first wife, though their legal separation was not yet finalized. After he died suddenly at age 28 in June 2025, his second wife became the sole heir to his fortune and inherited the legal obligation to continue providing financial support to his former wife. The ex-wife, who worked as a cleaner and was financially dependent on the payments, had previously received €6,300 per month from her ex-husband. However, after the husband’s death, the payments stopped, prompting the ex-wife to seek continued support from authorities, claiming she was entitled to around €5,000 monthly.
