What would you do if you won the lottery? In 1999, an American woman won $1.3 million in the lottery, and because she didn't want to let her husband of 25 years spend it, she divorced 11 days after she won.
However, she did not tell anyone about the gain in the divorce settlement, and when the man found out, he sued her.
The judge ended up awarding him all the money from the lottery prize.

Despite being in the useless fact thread I found it interesting so I asked google

What is altitude sickness

Where I found this question:

"What are the 3 stages of altitude sickness?"

Answer:

"CLINICAL PRESENTATION. Altitude illness is divided into 3 syndromes: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)."
