14sisters

Written contracts, like even the strongest sisterly bonds, can be broken. So said the judge who ruled Tuesday that an 87-year-old Connecticut woman who won a $500,000 lottery jackpot does not have to share the windfall with her sister. Superior Court Judge Cynthia K. Swienton determined that a notarized contract between the sisters to share any gambling proceeds was no longer in effect when their longtime lottery numbers came in, because of a previous falling-out. Ironically enough, that dispute was also over money, $250 that Rose Bakaysa, 87, had lent her sister Theresa Sokaitis, 84, and wanted back. Sokaitis said she didn't have the money and told her sister ``I don't want to be your partner anymore,'' Swienton wrote. Bakaysa agreed. ``This case has been characterized as one involving two sisters, both well into their 80s, `fighting' over a $500,000 lottery Powerball ticket,'' Swienton wrote. ``In reality, what spurred the argument was far less than half a million dollars, but boils

24sisters

Nothing, it's been said, comes between sisters. Unless it's half a million dollars. For years, Theresa Sokaitis and Rose Bakaysa were the closest of siblings, whiling away long hours over card tables and slot machines, and sharing countless lottery tickets. They always played the same numbers. If one won, they both did. All pots were split 50-50. Now, in a bitter family feud that seems ripped from a Hollywood script, the elderly widows are locked in a protracted legal battle over a $500,000 lottery jackpot, with Sokaitis saying she is rightfully owed a share of the winnings. Yesterday, the two faced off in New Britain Superior Court, with testimony focusing on whether a notarized, decade-old compact between the sisters to share any gambling proceeds was in effect when their longtime lottery numbers came in. In 2005, Bakaysa, an 87-year-old from Plainville, Conn., won the Powerball prize with her brother, Joseph F. Troy Sr. Sokaitis, an 84-year-old from Middletown, quickly sued for brea
