Couldn’t have happened to better people, right? I mean… just look at the mugshots and you’ll have to agree. These two definitely strike me as hard working contributors to the society who deserve the $190 Million fortune. Nevermind the fact that Holly Lahti sports a black eye in her mugshot. It was an art adjustment by her estranged husband’s fist. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?
Whole America was on their toes when Mega Millions lottery jackpot reached $380 Million over the New Year’s Eve period. People flocked to their neighborhood convenience shops to buy a ticket for their chance at this amazing mass of cash. And two of them struck jackpot. We’re only gonna focus on one – 29 year old Holly Lahti.
Holly Lahti lives in Rathdrum, Idaho where she’s worked at the bank since 2007. She’s been married to Joshua Lahti for more than 10 years and gave birth to two of his daughters. Things were not going well between the two and one day they both ended up at the police station. Both were charged with batter but the charges were eventually dropped. Holly had her face bruised when the mugshots were taken.
Joshua Lahti has crossed path with law enforcement more than a dozen times and his criminal record contains several juicy items, including domestic battery, buying alcohol for a minor and drug possession. Buying alcohol for a minor? Really?
Holly Lahti and her husband Joshua have separated and lived estranged lives, but never divorced and as such remain legally married. And now Holly hit the big jackpot, won herself $190 Million yet she still has a husband and if I recall correctly, he may claim half of it for himself if she decides to divorce him. He could also insist on living with his wife since she’s his wife, right? Either way, Holly Lahti seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place, however, even if she were to spend half of this fortune on lawyers to ensure that her husband gets none of it, she’ll still end up being really well off. I suppose it’s not that bad in the end. Could not have happened to a nicer couple, though. Could not!
