Ramdass wins lottery - wife can't find him

The clues trickled in that Donna Campbell's husband was hiding something from her.

Arnim Ramdass started to keep the television off at all times, then he disconnected their phone line. But the ah-ha! moment came when Campbell thumbed through the mail at their Miramar house and saw a postcard: Congratulations on the purchase of your new home.

Campbell, knowing her husband was a habitual lottery player, fired up her computer and Googled ``Ramdass and lotto.''

The first hit was a Florida Lottery press release about a pool of 17 airline mechanics who won a $19 million jackpot this summer.

''Here's a guy who for years has spent marital money on the lottery and at casinos, and he's always lost,'' said Bruce Baldwin, Campbell's attorney. ``And now he finally wins, and he's trying to keep it from his wife. That's pretty low.''

But Ramdass is nowhere to be found. His co-workers say he has taken a leave of absence from work (an American Airlines spokesman would not confirm, citing employee privacy). He has not shown up at the couple's middle-class home in Miramar's Silver Lakes neighborhood. Process servers have not been able to track down Ramdass to hand him the lawsuit papers, according to Campbell's attorney.

There's probably a perfectly good explanation . . . . like he was afraid word of his win would get out and he'd never hear the end of Ramdass jokes on Letterman and Leno.

Ramdass: Hey honey! I just won the lottery! You better start packing.
Wifey: That great! Where are we going?
Ramdass: Pack your bags you're leaving!

I think I found him: he seems to have started some sort of a Hindu meditation cult in Maui.

It looks like she didn't take on his last name.

In which case she doesn't deserve the money. Have fun in Tahiti Mr. Ramdass!

I definitely thought Ramdass was one of the regulars here that I had yet to talk with and you were announcing for him that he won!
Haha what a name!

Oh yeah, I'm also going to take the easy joke here.

I bet after 20 years of dealing with her husbands gambling loses, and her bailing on her now after winning, she must feel like she got Ramdass.

Haha. Wow I'm funny!

I know everybody keeps making fun of the guys name, but I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "ROM DOS"

Next thing you'll tell us is that it's pronounced "Ed-mon-ton" and not "gigantic-trailer-park".

Ah yes this thread reminds me of the Airdrie's most famous resident "Stu Pidass," who actually found his way into the phone book some 5 or so years ago!
