The winner, identified only as John Doe in court documents, overcame the astronomical odds of 1 in 302.6 million to claim the $1.35 billion jackpot, the second-largest Mega Millions win ever and the fourth-largest in U.S. history.

After taxes, Doe took home $500 million.

The legal drama began when Doe sued the mother of his daughter, named Sara Smith in the legal documents, accusing her of breaching a non-disclosure agreement by revealing his win to his family.

However, new court documents suggest it was Doe himself who informed his family about his winnings.

Smith’s lawyers argue that Doe told his father and stepmother about his lottery windfall, contradicting his claim that Smith was the one who revealed his secret.

In a sworn affidavit, Doe’s father stated that Doe had visited the family home and informed them about his lottery win. The father criticized Doe for not keeping his promises to help the family with his winnings.

Doe admitted to speaking with his father and stepmother about the money, acknowledging that their relationship deteriorated shortly after.

The father’s statement reads: “In February or March of 2023, my son came to my house in [REDACTED], and told me and my wife that he had won a large sum of money in the Maine State Lottery. He promised to build me a garage, buy me some cars to restore, and purchase the house where he lived with me and his mother when he was a child.”

The father claims his son also pledged to establish a $1 million trust fund to provide a monthly income and ensure at-home nursing care for him for the rest of his life. Doe allegedly demanded that neither his father nor stepmother maintain contact with Smith.

Doe’s father stated: “Smith is the mother of our grandchild and we have had a good relationship with her over the years. We did not want to turn our back on her as he insisted.”

After challenging his son about his changed behavior, the father revealed that Doe “became irate, branding me a dictator and an a**hole.”

The father concluded: “I have not heard from my son since, and he has not fulfilled any of the promises he made.”
