Mills Wins the Beatle Divorce Lottery was a top story on Tuesday. Here it is again: (antiMusic) There are only a few ways to get an instant $50 million dollar payday. You can win the lottery, you can win a lawsuit against a tobacco company, or you can marry a Beatle then divorce him four years later. Heather Mills opted for that last option and walked out of court Monday with $48.6 million dollars courtesy of Sir Paul McCartney.

Maybe now Paul will remember what he was thinking when he wrote "Can't Buy Me Love". Here are some details about the judge's decision from an AP report: A document released by the Family Court said the judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million plus the assets she currently holds worth $15.6 million.

McCartney, 65, and Mills, 40, went to court last month to decide on Mills' share of his fortune, which had been estimated at as much as $1.6 billion... Mills [originally] sought almost $250 million, while McCartney had said she should receive $31.6 million, including her own assets, which the court assessed at $15.6 million. - AP also published the full text of the settlement
