Florida, December 17: A South Florida woman whose husband won the lottery and then left her was set to be evicted from her home Tuesday evening.
Donna Campbell was given until Tuesday to pack up and leave the Miramar home she once shared with her husband, Arnim Ramdass.
“I have asked myself over and over what I did to deserve this, to deserve this ending,” Campbell said. Ramdass and several other airline mechanics won $19 million in a June 2007 lottery jackpot. Instead of sharing the wealth, Campbell said her husband did not tell her about his win and eventually left her.
A previous lawsuit Campbell filed was dropped. Ramdass stopped paying the mortgage, and their home went into foreclosure. While they are still legally married, Campbell said Ramdass has vanished.
“I have no idea where he is,” Campbell said.
Campbell spent the day packing up pictures and clothing. She said she would leave behind furniture and other large items, as she has no place to go and cannot afford to store them.
Campbell wants to divorce Ramdass, file suit for her half of the money and serve him with papers, but her husband is nowhere to be found.
“I intend to find him. I will keep trying until I get him,” Campbell said.
