A Nova Scotia court battle between an aunt and her nephew over a $1.2-million Chase the Ace jackpot was settled Monday following a five-hour meeting. Barb Reddick sued nephew Tyrone MacInnis for $611,319 after he claimed half the prize from the July lottery, which was a fundraiser for two fire departments in Margaree Forks, N.S. Reddick will receive the remainder of the amount in dispute, $261,319, and will retain the other $611,319 she already has. Following a photo op in July where Reddick and MacInnis posed with a cheque for the full amount, Reddick pointed at her nephew and said: "See you in court." In Chase the Ace, people buy tickets as they would in a 50-50 draw.
