Teen smoking, drinking decline, while mental health, dietary habits worsen
A pair of French men said their 35-year friendship has ended due to a dispute over a $1.3 million winning lottery ticket.
Messouad Boudissa, 79, and Cheikh Guendouzi, 73, from the village of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, said they ended their friendship following a dispute about the winnings from a $26 lottery ticket. Guendouzi said he loaned Boudissa the money to buy the ticket in July 2011, with the understanding that they would share any winnings, The Local.fr reported Monday.
Boudissa said there was no such agreement and he felt "betrayed" when Guendouzi took him to court.
"I won, just me. I bought the ticket and I won. No one else was playing with me," Boudissa said.
Half of the winnings have been seized from Boudissa's account pending the outcome of an appeal. (UPI)

‘친구’복권 때문에 박살난 35년 우정
프랑스에서 복권 당첨금을 두고 35년동안이나 돈독하게 지내온 친구 두 명이 절교하는 일이 벌어졌다.
빌너브-쉬르-로 마을에 사는 메수아드 부디사(79)씨와 평소에 절친하게 지냈던 치크 구엔두지(73)씨는 현재 1백만유로(한화 약 14억 8천만원)에 달하는 복권 당첨금을 놓고 법정 싸움을 벌이고 있다고 UPI통신이 23일(현지시간) 보도했다.
구엔두지씨는 부디사씨가 작년 7월에 아미고(Amigos:친구란 뜻의 스페인어) 복권을 살 돈을 자신으로부터 빌린 후 당첨된다면 돈을 나눠 갖기로 했다고 주장했다.
그러나 부디사씨는 이러한 일은 사실무근이며 친구가 자신을 고발한 것에 대해 “배신감”을 느낀다고 말했다.
부디사씨가 지급받은 당첨금의 절반은 현재 압류당한 상태로, 이 돈의 행방은 재판 결과에 따라 결정된다.
