Powerball Winner Must Reserve Money For Child Support7 August 2000FLORENCE, KENTUCKY – Aug. 7, 2000 – As reported by The Scripps Howard News Service: "A man who recently won a $65.4 million Powerball jackpot will have to set aside $880,000 for future child-support payments until a judge determines exactly how much a daughter from a former marriage should receive. "…Another court hearing will determine how much Mack Metcalf, 42, of Florence, Ky., should pay in weekly child support. "Metcalf is supposed to pay $50 a week, but his ex-wife, Marilyn Collins, is asking for more money because he is worth more after having won the lottery, said Rita Ferguson, an assistant county attorney. "Metcalf is supposed to pay child support until his daughter, now 15, is 18, Edmondson said. "He owes about $31,000 in back payments, $8,000 of which will go to the state as reimbursement for Aid to Families With Dependent Children. "..Metcalf has said he wants to use the money to move to Australia. Lottery officials didn't immediately find out that he owed back child support because he gave them a fake Social Security number." |
