"Mega-Millions winner’s testimony shows how she lost $83_million_to NY attorney"

"On the morning after she became a multi-millionaire, a South Carolina woman drove by the KC Mart No. 47 in Simpsonville where she bought her lottery ticket, to see if anyone was there, just in case she had made a mistake and didn’t really win.

It was the largest Mega Millions jackpot to be won by a single ticket — more than $1.5 billion — and she had seen the numbers reported on television."

"Her story also provides a cautionary tale for those who come into large amounts of money unexpectedly, who trust professionals to do their jobs without a lot of oversight."

"Her husband called Kurland from a burner phone in December 2018. They didn’t want him to know their names. They met in Las Vegas shortly afterward."

"The accounts were set up in Kurland’s name to protect their anonymity.

“He had access to it. We did not. He set it up as if it was, basically, his account,” she said."
