Kaczmarczyk had been buying tickets with his regular coffee shop waitress, Krystyna Skwira, 52, with whom he split the winnings. “Krystyna didn’t believe that we were going to win, but we did,” Kaczmarczyk said in a press release at the time. In Kaczmarczyk’s case, however, the publicity of his win led to his long running prosecution on multiple charges of child rape, after a woman claimed to recognize him as her childhood tormentor. This is an outrageWhen he won the big prize in 2010, a woman, 65, recognized Kaczmarczyk’s picture on the lottery website, and went to police. By the time the latest trial date was set, in June of last year, Kaczmarczyk was in increasingly poor health, according to his lawyer, Ron Palleschi.
