Family Court of Australia judges Stephen Thackray, Peter Murphy and Murray Aldridge have dismissed an appeal against an earlier ruling by judge Janine Stevenson. She had heard that a lottery ticket had been bought by a woman six months after she separated from her husband of two decades. The man sought to claim part of the $A6m won on the ticket, but Stevenson cited a 2011 decision in the Family Division of the High Court of the UK and rejected his case
